This originally meant come together, until it took on the predominately sexual sense. But it’s PIE and Latin roots were simply “come with”. Co + ire.

From French, from Latin. A material applied over another.

Originally justle. To knock against as in joust. This originally meant “to have sex”. As I recall jazz originally meant the same. There is no end to verbs for that activity.

It appears this is strictly of Germanic origin. To repress.

From Greek to Latin to Italian. Then to us. It can reference either a natural or artificial cave.

The idea occurred to me when studying Italian, idea. The word for idea in german is similar: idee. I reckoned that since both the Germanic and Romance languages have variations of this same theme, there must be a PIE origin. Sure enough. *wid-es-ya-, suffixed form of root *weid- "to see."

I saw this word in an article in Atlantic, but used in a non biblical sense, which made sense...the belief in the fall of man from innocence.

I was surprised that the Germanic origin of this has a PIE heritage.

One would think that this simple word has an Anglo Saxon origin. However, it is Latin based, from plicare, to fold. I like how the many senses of the verb and the noun, not without reason, evolved from the root.

Yes.

Make better.

Make worse.

If you are as inept at Scrabble as I am, you appreciate three letter words in abundance. It should be no surprise that this is strictly of Germanic origin. Capitalized, interestingly as DIN, it is the acronym for Deutsche Industrie- Norm, German Industrial Standard.

Thanks for the word Grogie. I saw this word and I knew immediately that it was submitted by you. I am also a Michigander.

From Latin, onus, through French to English. Burdensome.
