Envoy

Postby William A Hupy » Thu Oct 08, 2020 8:45 am

One of the benefits of studying other languages is how it enhances our own. Currently, I am studying French and ran across the verb, “envoyer”, to send. From here it is easy enough to see the transition from Latin, in via, on road. An envoy is a messenger you send on the road.

And when they are moving about in a war zone, you have envoys in convoys.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
