You may be insulting your fri ends without knowing it — and perhaps getting away with it if they too, are unaware of the sinister meanings concealed in such harmless words as “pal,” “neighbor,” or “guy.” “Pal” is a gypsy word meaning brother — or accomplice. In A- merica, a “guy” is any human male, but to Britons a “guy” is an odd, funny-looking character. The word goes back to Guy Fawkes, who in 1605 tried to blow up Parliament. “Neighbor” literally means “the boor who lives nigh us!” “Boor carried no stigma in olden days; it meant simply farmer. Many common words have changed, even reversed, their mean ings — with amusing results. “Sil ly” once meant good or happy, in the sense of innocent, while “nice” meant what “fastidious” now means: overly fussy and finicky. (“Fastidium” is Latin for loath ing!) Call a woman a hussy today and she’ll slap your face — but a few centuries back “hussy” was just the shortened form of “house wife.” Believe it or not, a “gossip” was once a “God-sib,” or a “re lative in the sight of God”! The term was applied to godparents who were expected to form, a close and intimate relationship with the family whose child they sponsored. From this mood of confiding intimacy, it’s not hard to see how the present meaning of “gossip” evolved. Words come into being in a fascinating variety of ways. Some are imitative of sounds — like, “hiss,” ‘bang,” “gurgle,” “gibber ish.” Some words are named after men like Dr. Guillotin, who sug gested the “guillotine.’ According to Webster’s Third New Interna tional Dictionary, an Irish land lord named Boycott gave us that word — by being so harsh and downright ornery that his tenants finally “boycotted” him. Less logical was Belgian chem ist Van Helmont, who in the 17th century saw a mysterious vapor in a glass cylinder and christened it “gas.” What led him to oiuginate this name, he couldn’t say — ex cept that the formless puffs vague ly remainded him of the Greek word “chaos.” The word “oxygen” was born of a scientific mistake. Because Antonine Lavoisier, the French discoverer of oxygen, thought it was an essential component of all acids, he named the substance from the Greek “oxys,” sharp, and “gignesthai,” to be born. One of our most commonly used words was originally a made-up nonsense syllable! The story goes that a man named Daly, manager of a Dublin playhouse, bet a man that within 24 hours he could have the whole town talking about a meaningless word. He won the wager — by chalking all over- Dublin’s walls the letters QUIZ. Some words are literally nick names for other, longer words. In this category is the sports “fan” (short for fanatic) . . .the tough “cuss” (for customer) ... the old “chap” (for chapman, an ancient English word for merchant) and the “mob,” an abbreviation of the Latin phrase “mobile vulgus,” fickle crowd. “Nincompoop” is a telescoped version of the Latin “non compos mentis,” mentally in competent. “It’s amazing how picturesque some ordinary words turn out to be, upon investigation. “Disaster” is from the Latin for stars; astro logers believed stars had both benevolent and malignant phases, the latter leading to “disaster.” “Preposterous,” amusingly, is a combination of the Latin “prae,” before, and “osterus,” behind. “Calculate” is from the Latin “calculi,’” little pebbles used by the Romans to cast their votes — and reckon up their gambling debts. “Cliche” is French for a sterotype plate in printing; “con jugal” means what many husbands may have suspected — “yoked to gether.” On the other hand, what student would connect “grammar” with “glamor?” Yet word experts know that both derive from an old Scottish word for “magic spell” — centuries ago, “grammer” conveyed the idea of mysterious lore. Would you ever guess that “idiot,” in the original Greek, simply meant “a man who holds no public office?” Or that “kidding,” in its early 19th century meaning, was “to amuse or divert your victim while your accomplice rob bed him?” Or, for that matter, that “robe” and “rob” are related I robber bedecked himself in the words — the idea being that a I spoils stolen from his victim! ■ In plasti Siapst ,y1. > && i.; \ *> ■ iiiiifr ■gflllpir, >:'v$ : :r.- 'ice DEODORANT Here’s deodorant protection YOU CAN TRUST Old Spice Stick Deodor3nt.../as£esf, neatest way to all- day, every day protection!
