Our word sky comes from the Viking word for cloud , but in England there’s simply no difference between the two concepts, and so the word changed its meaning because of the awful weather.
📚🔔 Tatil zili çaldı!
Bir yıl boyunca verilen emeklerin ardından şimdi dinlenme, keşfetme ve yeni maceralara atılma zamanı. 🌞
Bu yaz bol kahkahalı, bol anılı ve elbette bol kitaplı geçsin. Tüm öğrencilere keyifli tatiller diliyoruz! 💙📖
Milton adored inventing words. When he couldn’t find the right term he just made one up: impassive , obtrusive , jubilant , loquacious , unconvincing , Satanic , persona , fragrance , beleaguered , sensuous , undesirable , disregard , damp , criticise , irresponsible , lovelorn , exhilarating , sectarian , unaccountable , incidental and cooking . All Milton’s. When it came to inventive wording, Milton actually invented the word wording .
They tried to chop his head off but the sword bent and he forgave the executioner. This last kindness was what earned the doctor the name Pantaleon , which means All-Compassionate .
By the tenth century Saint Pantaleon had become the patron saint of Venice. Pantalon therefore became a popular Venetian name and the Venetians themselves were often called the Pantaloni .
In Commedia Dell’Arte plays Pantalone was the stereotypical Venetian. He was a merchant and a miser and a lustful old man, and he wore one - piece breeches, like Venetians did. These long breeches therefore became known as pantaloons .
The Testaments of the Bible testify to God’s truth. This is because the Latin for witness was testis . From that one root, testis , English has inherited pro test (bear witness for), de test (bear witness against), con test (bear witness competitively), and test icle. What are testicles doing there? They are testi fying to a man’s virility.
Eventually, a Frenchman named Lavoisier decided that the sort of air that produced water when it was burnt should be called the water-producer . Being a scientist, he of course dressed this up in Greek, and the Greek for water producer is hydro-gen . The bit of air that made things acidic he decided to call the acid-maker or oxy-gen , and the one that produced nitre then got called nitro-gen .
