I know there are jucier ones out there- I'll try and get a good one soon!

'Apport'(noun)

1.The supposed paranormal transference of an object from one place to another, or the appearance of an object from an unknown source, often associated with poltergeist activity and séances.
2.An object that appears from an unknown source.

So the etymology of apport comes from the Latin- Apportō(verb)
1."to bring/ to carry"
which is cool because, to me, it suggests the 'apport item' in question being manually carried by a spirit/ghoul like some sort of spooky Postman.

The coordinate term "Asport" derived from the Latin Asportō  also ends up meaning "to take off/ carry away."
This inverse is all too familiar to anyone who has had guitar picks be spirited off to that big pick farm I hear they all end up at.

I then seen the webpage read "Alternative forms: asportate (considered a mistake)" and was thinking how "Considered a mistake" is a cool etymology in the way it suggest objects simply appearing in a place in some multiverse-timeline-mixup based secenario and was FULLY gonna milk that as the sort of big reveal of this post (:lol:) before realising the WORD itself was the mistake...:blush:

Sweet thread, cosmos :rockon:

:levitate:
Bodhicitta, derived from Sanskrit "Bodhi" meaning 'enlightenment/awakening' and "Chit" meaning 'consciousness' combining to pretty much mean: "Mind of awakening."

Bodhicitta: The seed of Buddha-Mind.

(Bodhi itself originates from Sanskirt root "Budh" meaning 'to understand fully/ to awaken' with a literal meaning close to 'awakening').

Oh shit, you went right into this one- never considered checking the etymology for 'I'.

Nice Orion etymology :yesnod:
Quote:

connectedcosmos said:
Nice avatar Lithop, did you take that picture? I can see the nebula :awemazing:




Thanks, I did mate.
Got a really blessed spot for stargazing, especially light pollution wise. Would get dabbed out and start at Orions belt every night last Winter/Spring, gradually working across and seeing what planets & constellations could be found.
It's so sick, I eventually want to get a semi-decent telescope so I can really get a bit more immersed in some juicy space stuff:vaped:
BUT I'd kind of like to be able to use the scope for nature-based viewing, so ease of use, portability and a decent price are all factors...
Not asking TOO much eh?
:rolleyes: :lol:
So a lot of boring spec-comparisons & general researching is needed...

I digress:
'Constellation'
From the early 14th century word 'Constellacioun' meaning "Position of a planet in the Zodiac" or "One of the recognised star patterns handed down through antiquity" from the old French 'constellacion' which took directly from late Latin constellationem.
Etymology online says of 'Constellatonem': "(nominative constellatio) "a collection of stars," especially as supposed to exert influence on human affairs," from constellatus "set with stars," from assimilated form of Latin com "with, together" (see con-) + past participle of stellare "to shine," from stella "star" (from PIE root *ster- (2) "star").
The oldest sense is astrological, of the position of planets ("stars") relative to the zodiac signs on a given day, usually the day of one's birth, as a determiner of one's character. "I folwed ay myn inclinacioun/By vertu of my constillacioun" (Chaucer, "Wife's Prologue," c. 1386). In modern use "a group of fixed stars to which a definite name has been given but does not form part of another named group (compare asterism). Figuratively, "any assemblage of a brilliant or distinguished character"(1630s)."

Rad.

'Aurora Borealis'

'Aurora', noun, originating from the Proto-Indo-European root 'Aus' or 'Ausus' meaning "to shine" & "the dawn" being then used as the name of both Roman and Indo-European Goddess of Dawn.
Coupled with 'Borealis' also a noun, coming from 'Boreas, God of the North Wind' or 'Boreal' which allegedly has connotations with both Sanskrit and Lithuanian words 'Giri' or 'Gire' with meanings based around mountain or forest- which makes sense if you think of 'Arboreal' like tree climber. 
Anyway the two combine to mean "Northern Lights" or "Northern Dawn"

Aurora got me thinking of:
'Aura'
Which in its Greek form was used to denote "Breath, cool breeze" or "Air in motion" being derived from the Proto-Indo-European root 'Wer' with meaning "to hold suspended, lift or raise".
Etymology online says: "It forms all or part of: aerate; aeration; aerial; aero-; aerobics; aerophyte; aerosol; air (n.1) "invisible gases that surround the earth;" airy; aorta; anaerobic; aria; arterial; arterio-; arteriosclerosis; arteriole; artery; aura; malaria; meteor." pretty dank.
Over time, aura became synonymous with the description of "A subtle emination around living beings."

And after aura, I couldn't help myself:
'Woo woo'
'Woowoo'- or just 'Woo'- is an informal term, often used in a derogatory way to discredit or make fun of, unconventional beliefs related to spirituality and mysticism, or explanations that are rooted far outside of scientific understanding.
My favourite thing about it, is that it was allegedly coined in the 1980's and the term itsself is meant to denote the noise a Ghost makes :lmafo:

Hey, it's a wilcuma ddition regardless.

:awehigh:


I intended on doing "Jack O' Lantern" since it's getting to be that time again.
Etymology online said:

"Jack-o'-lantern (n.)

also jack-o-lantern, jack-a-lantern, jackolantern, 1660s, "night-watchman;" 1670s as a local name for a will-o-the-wisp (Latin ignis fatuus), mainly attested in East Anglia but also in southwestern England. Literally "Jack of (with) the lantern;" see Jack + lantern. The extension to carved pumpkin lanterns is attested by 1834 in American English."


So then I was like "Aw yeah, I forgot the term Will o the Wisp, it's sick!"
Looked at the etymology of that:

"1660s, earlier Will with the wisp (c. 1600), from the masc. proper name Will + wisp "bundle of hay or straw used as a torch." Compare Jack-o'-lantern."

Both of them are just about a guy carrying a torch of some description.
Far out.

Just as I suspected
:sherlock:
etymologyonline:

"goosebumps (n.)

also goose-bumps, "peculiar tingling of the skin produced by cold, fear, etc.; the sensation described as 'cold water down the back'" [Farmer], 1859, from goose (n.) + bump (n.). So called because the rough condition of the skin during the sensation resembles the skin of a plucked goose. Earlier in the same sense was goose-flesh (1803) and goose-skin (1761; as goose's skin 1744), and earlier still hen-flesh (early 15c.), translating Latin caro gallinacia.
"

The long/short vowel contrast in break/breakfast represents a common pattern where words from Old English have a long vowel in their modern form but a short vowel as the first element of a compound: Christ/Christmas, holy/holiday, moon/Monday, sheep/shepherd, wild/wilderness, etc.   

Interesting about that last bit with the vowels :strokebeard:



Yeah that is interesting, so was syncros post on Iamb!

Read Siddhartha the other day for the first time, enjoyed it.

Wikipedia says:
"The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (what was searched for), which together means "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals".
In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, prince of Kapilavastu."

I seen a video where a hermit crab was inspecting its new shell.
Got me thinking.

In-Spect, Spect-Ator/ Spect-Ate, Spect-Acle, Spect-Rum, A-Spect, Intro-Spect.

Without searching it online, can any of you enlighten me on the origin of 'Spect' as a pre/suffix?

I feel it has something to do with "view", for example 'Introspect' would have the definition somewhere around "To view within" which seems right (I don't know the dictionary definition offhand.)

What other words have a common denominator that makes the definition clear?
Cheers!

Great work Lithop !

inspect (v.)
1620s, from Latin inspectus, past participle of inspicere "look at, observe, view; look into, inspect, examine," from in- "into" (from PIE root *en "in") + specere "to look" (from PIE root *spek- "to observe"). Related: Inspected; inspecting.



Thanks man, case closed.

What still to this day baffles me so much more than anything is the origin of language itself , and defining it , for to define a word , you need words to define - how in the hell did that start ?! Language obviously came before writing which would play into definition so concepts were already put in place somewhat ...

:awemazing:




Yes bro! That really gets the ol' grey matter going- surely there's a great documentary out there somewhere about theories on that...
Gary Larson of Far Side fame done so many bits about language in various forms.

Man, I had this older mate- never heard from him in years sadly- but he was a true genius. The guy had incredible insight down about so much of the world. Intellectually and emotionally switched on to the Nth degree- he was like a fucking alien :lol:
I was too immature to truly appreciate our friendship in many ways- I wish I could pick his brain and hear what he has to say about all sorts nowadays, this time I'd REALLY listen- what I was humble enough to take in back then was very influential.
Incredible skater too and anyway one day we are on the bus home to his house after skating in the city. He was at university for language going into linguistics, phonetics and stuff way way beyond me, deconstructing language into its base parts and tracing the evolution of those parts through history, the impact it had on societal development etc etc.
Genuinely AMAZING shit, I'm sitting there on the bus w/ him stoned as fuck desperately trying to keep up while he is tracing slang we used back to its Angelo Saxon root terms in the casual way some people would talk about a film they had just seen.

All that to say, I reckon you would have LOVED talking to that fella.
I miss him, I've tried before to track him down (not hard enough tbh), I REALLY hope he's doing great in life out there somewhere! In fact I'm gonna include him in my metta tonight.
:rockon:
Cheers dude!

You got me wondering the origin of anti
Since quite a few words begin with it and it's usually a opposite type of instance



Yeah, that's a good pick!


Quote:

connectedcosmos said:
anticipate (v.)
1530s, "to cause to happen sooner," a back-formation from anticipation, or else from Latin anticipatus, past participle of anticipare "take (care of) ahead of time," literally "taking into possession beforehand," from anti, an old form of ante "before" (from PIE root *ant- "front, forehead," with derivatives meaning "in front of, before") + capere "to take" (from PIE root *kap- "to grasp").

anti-
word-forming element of Greek origin meaning "against, opposed to, opposite of, instead," shortened to ant- before vowels and -h-, from Old French anti- and directly from Latin anti-, from Greek anti (prep.) "over, against, opposite; instead, in the place of; as good as; at the price of; for the sake of; compared with; in opposition to; in return; counter-," from PIE *anti "against," also "in front of, before" (from root *ant- "front, forehead," with derivatives meaning "in front of, before"), which became anti- in Italian (hence antipasto) and French.



Some damn tasty etymology that, bro.

"The Latin root of the word 'extravagant' means 'to wander outside or beyond'.
It is a good word for mycelium, which ceaselessly wanders outside and beyond its limits, none of which are pre-set, as they are in most animal bodies. Mycelium is a body without a body plan."
