Etymology

[Anonymous No.13603721]

Let's talk about words with surprising origins.

[Anonymous No.13603902]

"Bear" is kind of interesting. The PIE word for this creature was something like Ursus (or however you decline it) but the speakers were so superstitious that they thought saying it's name would summon one to their position, so they just called it the brown one. Thousands of years later and people completely forgot that "bear" was just a euphemism and that is why Brown Bear is a redundant phrase

[Anonymous No.13604066]

Ersatz has an interesting history.

[Anonymous No.13604083]

The etymology for the word "nice" is impressively circuitous.

From etymonline:

> late 13c., "foolish, ignorant, frivolous, senseless," from Old French nice (12c.) "careless, clumsy; weak; poor, needy; simple, stupid, silly, foolish," from Latin nescius "ignorant, unaware," literally "not-knowing," from ne- "not" (from PIE root *ne- "not") + stem of scire "to know" (see science). "The sense development has been extraordinary, even for an adj." [Weekley] -- from "timid, faint-hearted" (pre-1300); to "fussy, fastidious" (late 14c.); to "dainty, delicate" (c. 1400); to "precise, careful" (1500s, preserved in such terms as a nice distinction and nice and early); to "agreeable, delightful" (1769); to "kind, thoughtful" (1830).

the word was *h2ertk'os in PIE k' being a palatalized k.
some indo european languages like latin, and persian still preserve the original form, regardless of taboo (see ursus, khers) but you are indeed correct that taboo is in effect in many IE languages, russian too, bear = medved'

Paradise comes from the Avestan word "pairi-daêza", which roughly means "walled garden". It was most likely used by Zoroastrians a lot.

I remember hearing that donde (where) in Spanish comes from some hilariously redundant process where every time the words for "from where" collapsed into one word from frequent usage, the word would come to mean just "where?," so people would add another "from," so that it essentially meant "from from-where," and then it would happen again, so that still today in Spanish you say "de donde?"

Every use of the word 'check', from 'check it out' to 'send me the check', comes from Persian 'Shah' (King)

'Govern' and 'Cyber' are direct cognates, one simply came through Latin and one through Greek, from an original term meaning 'to steer'

'Sanguine' and 'iron' are direct cognates, from the PIE word for blood, heshr

English 'free' is cognate with Latin 'provincia'

Bad.
From Middle English bad, badde (“wicked, evil, depraved”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps a shortening of Old English bæddel (“hermaphrodite”)

Robot comes from a Czech word, robota, meaning "forced labor"; the word 'robot' was first used to denote a fictional humanoid in a 1920 play R.U.R.

The other day I read about St Martin de Tours, who was a Roman soldier before (and after) getting baptized as a Christian. His most famous miracle was when he was riding his horse past a beggar, saw that the guy was naked, and cut his own cloak in half to clothe him. When Martin slept that night he saw Jesus in a dream telling his angels "Martin clad me," and when he woke up the cloak was made whole.
After he died and the cloak became a relic, soldiers revered him as a patriotic military saint and carried pieces of it around on the march. The priests that followed the military and took care of the relic were called something like "cape-keeper," capellanus, which became the word chaplain in French. When they set up camp for long periods they built mini-churches to house the relic called "cape-places," which became the word chapel.

Bears are just a part of life to those of us that live in rural areas in bear country, same as they were to those folks, same as muggers and drunk drivers are to city folk. Most of the time you encounter a bear in the wild it just runs off, once in awhile it will just look at you and go on about its business as if you are not even there, quite rare they attack. Wild boar are far more likely to mess you up, they back down from nothing and attack everything, been treed by those fuckers a few times, wild turkeys are almost as bad but not as dangerous, they will give you some very good cuts if they decide they do not like you. Moose are fucking terrifying, they can kill you with no effort, shat myself a little the one time I came face to face with a moose, few feet away, looking me right in the eye, he snorts, I shit, he walks off, probably laughing his ass off. Lone wolves are pretty freaky, they will definitely check you out and even stalk you abit, but wolf attacks are exceedingly rare. Mountain lions are almost as bad, but they like the chase and generally ignore people except for joggers and bikers, they also do not seem to like the taste of people, loose interest after their teeth sink in.

"Nightmare" shares that similar idea in Finnish, too. The Finnish word is "painajainen" which basically means "a creature that is pressing you down".

The word has a specific meaning. If the meaning is obfuscated with other meanings then we lose the capability of readily expressing that specific idea. I recently had someone tell me about an incident where the instructor improperly used "decimation" when discussing the result of a battle between the Romans and a German tribe. Given this context, it created confusion with students that actually understand the word.

This is a myth, Semantic Widening has never lowered the expressivity of a language. The meanings of English words have changed so much over the last millennium that OE and modern English aren't even mutually comprehensible, and yet we still express things just as well today.
In your own example, the confusion was caused precisely because people had been fed a defunct definition of that word by other morons like yourself. No different than if someone told them 'career' meant 'trajectory of a falling object' and then they got confused when another person discussed their 'career choices'.

"Konnichiha" ("ha" pronounced "wa") literally means something like 'As for this day' and Japanese used to add something after such as 'ikaga desu ka?' which would mean 'As for this day, how are you?' but was eventually shortened to simply konnichiha.

Express for me then the meaning of "decimation" using a different word.

[Anonymous No.13618276]

matrix
>Borrowed from Old French matrice (“pregnant animal”), or from Latin mātrīx (“dam, womb”), from māter (“mother”).

matter

I researched the Spanish word for it ("pesadilla") and it expresses the same idea. It says that nightmares were believed to be the work of monsters who sat on asleep people's chests and crushed them with their weight ("peso").

I purposefully omitted that option because I felt it to be more general to the room than to the device itself, though some of my choices may suffer that defect themselves. I would also include "outhouse" if we were to open the envelope a bit; plus, I omitted "john" in my initial list that I think applies well to the device.
