#etymological — Public Fediverse posts

#Turtles and #tortoises share the same #etymological root: Ancient #Greek ταρταροῦχος (tartaroûkhos), “holder of Tartaros (or Tartarus)”. Ancient beliefs held that they originated from the underworld, thought to be the resting place of the dead, referred to as Τάρταρος (Tártaros), meaning “the land of the dead, #hell.”

Now wondering if strong (khlang, ខ្លាំង) and afraid (khlac, ខ្លាច) are also #etymological‎ly related to the tiger (khla, ខ្លា). Any #Khmer #linguists on the Fediverse?

But the latter two also mean ‘voice’ in English, which is also the double meaning in French.

Yet the English, as usual, use two words: voice and vote. Both from the same stem, I guess.

Alright, just me rambling. Carry on :-)

#College is not your job. It’s your leisure—but not rest. Look up “school” in the #etymological dictionary and it might make sense. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/04/opinion/college-students-school-work.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

The #Swedish word for 'arquebus' has had a rather roundabout #etymological journey! It starts as #Dutch 'haakbus', meaning 'hook gun', then is corrupted into #French as 'arquebuse' and is finally Germanified again as 'arkebuse'.

'Bus' is familiar from 'blunderbus', also from a Dutch name - 'donderbuis'. In both cases the 'bus/buis' is a pipe.
