Paired adults were re-forming their relationships; returning birds went in for bouts of head flicking and kissing. Neighbors were in dispute, caterwauling above the din.” — Tim Dee, The New York Review of Books , 11 Sept. 2018 Did you know? An angry (or amorous ) cat can make a lot of noise. As long ago as the mid-1300s, English speakers were using caterwaul for the act of voicing feline passions. The cater part is, of course, connected to the cat, but scholars disagree about whether it traces to Middle Dutch cāter , meaning “tomcat,” or if it is really just cat with an “-er” added. The waul is probabl

Instead of running from a rock, Croft spends the game running through a city that crumbles around her as the world is reduced to shambles .” — Bob Fekete, Newsweek , 21 Sept. 2018  “Career success does not exist in a vacuum. If the home life is a mess and the children and bills and house are in shambles , then it’s very hard, if not impossible, to succeed at work.” — Gail Saltz, quoted in Psychology Today , 1 May 2018 Did you know?

Multitudinous is one of many English words that make use of the combining form multi- , from Latin multus , meaning “much” or “many.” Multicolor , multifunction , and multimillionaire are just a few of the others.

More broadly, the political chaos brought about by pamphleteering in France contributed to the absolutism of Louis XIV, who used the printing press as a tool of state control.” — Stephen Marche, The New Yorker , 23 Apr. 2018 Did you know? Pamphlets—unbound printed publications with no covers or with paper covers—are published about all kinds of subjects, but our word pamphlet traces back to one particular document. It de

原文链接 原文链接 Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for October 26, 2018 is: holy writ • \HOH-lee-RIT\  • noun 1 often capitalized Holy Writ : Bible 2 : a writing or utterance having unquestionable authority Examples: “But just because these people claim to be experts doesn’t mean their every utterance should be treated as holy writ .” — James Delingpole, The Spectator , 7 Apr. 2018 “ Holy Writ is a text we read and engage with fully. In an imaginative appropriation of the text of Scripture, and through the workings of grace, we somehow understand beyond articulation….” — Edward T. Wheeler, Commonweal , 6 Oct. 2017 Did you know? Holy Writ has been used in English as a synonym for Bible for more than a thousand years.

Bede’s history was translated from Latin to English around the year 900, and i

原文链接 原文链接 Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for October 25, 2018 is: fugacious • \fyoo-GAY-shus\  • adjective : lasting a short time : evanescent Examples: The rock band’s rise in popularity turned out to be fugacious , and within two years its members had moved on to other careers. “The maple leaves are a yellow light signaling me to slow down and take in the last pulse of color of a fugacious fall.” — David Johnson, The Daily News of Newburyport (Massachusetts), 26 Nov. 2013 Did you know? Fugacious is often used to describe immaterial things like emotions, but not always. Botanists, for example, use it to describe plant parts that wither or fall off before the usual time. Things that are fugacious are fleeting, and etymologically they can also be said to be fleeing. Fugacious derives from the Latin verb fugere , which means “to flee.” Other descendants of fugere include fugitive , refuge , and subterfuge . Lake桑 October 25, 2018 at 01:00PM

One comprised the apprentice boys, who, upon certain days of the week, were indoctrinated in the mysteries of the primer by an invalid corporal of marines, a slender, wizzen-cheeked man, who had received a liberal infant-school education.” — Herman Melville, White Jacket , 1850 Did you know?

Few films aspire to be both a mawkish tearjerker and a Hitchcockian thriller, and  The Book Of Henry  makes a pretty convincing case why more shouldn’t.” — Tim Grierson, Screen International , 15 June 2017 “Now for the tears of joy, the kind to which mawkish septuagenarians fall prey. First was the experience of taking the grandchildren to Giffords Circus…. ” — Max Hastings, The Spectator , 26 Aug. 2017 Did you know? The etymology of mawkish really opens up a can of worms—or, more properly, maggots. The first part of mawkish derives from Middle English mawke , which means “maggot.” Mawke

原文链接 原文链接 Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for October 22, 2018 is: brouhaha • \BROO-hah-hah\  • noun : a state of commotion or excitement : hubbub , uproar Examples: There was much brouhaha in the tabloids over the young actor’s sudden marriage to the woman who had been his high school sweetheart. “But where do you go, when the temperatures are soaring and you want to cool off but without all of the brouhaha that comes along with a trip to one of our more popular, crowded city beaches?” — Ji Suk Yi, The Chicago Sun-Times , 25 July 2018 Did you know? Some etymologists think brouhaha is onomatopoeic in origin, but others believe it comes from the Classical Hebrew phrase barukh habba’ , meaning “blessed be he who arrives” (Psalms 118:26). Although we borrowed brouhaha directly from French in the late 18th century, etymologists have connected the French derivation to that frequently recited Hebrew phrase, distorted to something like brouhaha by worshippers whose knowle

Occurring frequently in news articles and headlines, rebuff derives (via Middle French rebuffer ) from Old Italian ribuffare , meaning “to reprimand,” and ultimately from the imitative verb buffare , meaning “to puff.” (You might guess that the verb buff , meaning “to polish,” is a buffare descend

You’re probably familiar with adjacent , and if you guessed that it’s a relative of superjacent , you’re right. Both derive from the Latin verb jacēre , meaning “to lie.” Adjacent , which is both the more popular and the earlier word (it first appeared in print in the 15th century, while superjacent turned up in the late 16th ce

One received an automatic acceptation to a prestigious art school in Chicago on National Portfolio Day last fall.” — Laura Gutschke, The Abilene (Texas) Reporter-News , 8 Apr. 2018 “For its primary definition of ‘money,’ the same source states, ‘In usual and ordinary acceptation it means gold, silver, or paper money used as circulating medium of exchange, and does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other personal or real estate.'” — Tom Egan, The Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly , 1 June 2017 Did you know?

Nary , most often used in the phrase “nary a” to mean “not a single,” is an 18th-century alteration of the adjectival phrase “ne’er a,” in which ne’er is a contraction of never . That contraction dates to the 13th century, and the word it abbreviates is even older: never can be traced back to Old English nǣfre , a combination of ne (“not” or “no”) and ǣfre (“ever”). Old English ne also combined with ā (“always”) to give us nā , the Old English ancestor of our no . Ā , from the Latin aevum (“age” or “lifetime”) and Greek aiōn (“age”)

There were various times when each of the lovers declared he would kill the other, only to rush back into his outstretched arms.” — John Simon, The Weekly Standard , 2 Mar. 2018 Did you know? The roots of tergiversation are about an unwillingness

Viewers reluctantly moved on, but we did not forget the girl who was quick with a quip , and perhaps even quicker with a taser.” — Karla Peterson, The San Diego Union Tribune , 25 Aug. 2018 Did you know? Quip is an abbreviation of quippy , a noun that is no longer in use. Etymologists believe that quippy derived from the Latin quippe , a word meaning “indeed” or “to be sure” that was often used ironically. The earliest sense of quip , referring to a cutting or s

By and large is originally a sailing term meaning “alternately close- hauled and not close-hauled.” A ship that is sailing “close-hauled” is sailing as directly into the wind as possible (typically within about 45 degrees of the wind). The by part of the phrase means “close-hauled.” (This by also appears in the term full and by , meaning “sailing with all sails full and as close to the wind as possible.”) Larg

But in life-and-death situations, they can’t afford to rely on solutions that haven’t been thoroughly field-tested.” — Carolyn Said, The San Francisco Chronicle , 5 Aug. 2018 Did you know? Luddites could be considered the first victims of corporate downsizing.
