Le mot "sourire" désigne l'action de former un léger mouvement des lèvres et des yeux, généralement pour exprimer de la satisfaction, de la gentillesse, de l'amusement ou d'autres émotions positives. C'est un élément important de la communication non verbale et il est largement utilisé dans les interactions sociales. Étymologiquement, le mot "sourire" provient du latin "subridere", qui signifie "sourire" ou "rire doucement". En ancien français, le terme "sourire" apparaît vers le 12ème siècle avec le sens de "sourire légèrement". Au fil du temps, il est resté inchangé dans sa signification principale, bien qu'il ait pu évoluer légèrement dans son utilisation et son contexte. Le sourire est un geste universellement reconnu et pratiqué dans toutes les cultures, bien que sa signification puisse varier légèrement d'une culture à l'autre. Dans de nombreuses sociétés, il est perçu comme un signe de bienveillance, d'approbation ou de politesse. Cependant, dans certaines situations ou cultures, un sourire peut également être interprété différemment, par exemple comme une tentative de dissimulation ou de tromperie. En psychologie, le sourire est étudié comme un indicateur important du bien-être émotionnel et du comportement social. Il est souvent associé à des réactions positives tant chez celui qui sourit que chez celui qui reçoit le sourire. #originedesmots #sourire #litterature #france #savoir #decouverte #languefrançaise #culture #mot #origine #apprendre #lecture #etymology #etymologie #étymologie #def #definition #définition

Most of us have experienced those distressing dreams that leave us feeling uneasy, but have you ever wondered why they're called "nightmares"? The term comes from the Old English "mare," which referred to an evil spirit or goblin that was believed to sit on a sleeper's chest and cause bad dreams or feelings of suffocation. The "night" part is self-explanatory—these unsettling visions usually occur during the night. Together, "nightmare" describes the idea of a fear-inducing spirit haunting our sleep. While the original concept may sound spooky, today we simply use "nightmare" to describe an unpleasant dream or any distressing experience. What's the weirdest nightmare you've ever had? Share it with us in the comments! 🌙🌩️ #Nightmare #Etymology #WordOrigins #Language #OldEnglish #Dreams #Sleep #english
Hazelton’s “This the Dead Land” is a brilliant narrative about a girl haunted by her experiences in the church. On each read, we find new details stand out, bringing more depth to the story. We loved this piece for the Genus theme because it explores how the systems we grow up in can be inescapable. Girl is both repelled by her past and compelled to revisit it. Her conversations with Pastor reveal the significant trauma an institution can leave on a person, even if none of the scars are visible. #literaryjournal #centraldlorida #floridawriters #genus #writers #etymology #literary #publishing #journal #localzine
The #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is CINCO DE MAYO/FOIST/MAJOR #wotd #CincoDeMayo #foist #major
It’s artichoke season — a great time to savor the distinct, earthy flavor of this thistle-like plant. But beware! Artichokes have a tough, fibrous core that is difficult and unpleasant to digest. It’s thanks to this hairy core that the etymology of the word “artichoke” is itself a bit fuzzy. Early English forms of the word “artichoke” included variants like “archecokk,” “hartichock,” and “hartichoake.” The “choke” sound at the ending seemed fitting, because you could choke on the vegetable’s fuzzy center, and indeed, this hazardous bit became known as a “choke.” In time, it seemed that this explained the word’s etymology — that it must be called an “artichoke” because of its “choke.” Yet this isn’t the case at all! “Artichoke” comes from the Andalusian Arabic word الْخَرْشُوف (al-ḵaršūf), originating during a period of Arab rule in Spain. It became “alcarchofa” in Old Spanish and “articiocco” in a Northern Italian variant of Italian “arcicioffo,” eventually making its way into English. The invented story of the word’s origins is a great example of a folk etymology: a popular and logical, but ultimately inaccurate, explanation of where a word comes from. Explore a few more surprising examples at www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/folk-etymology. [ID: A pile of purple and green artichokes over text. Text reads: Artichoke — The name for this spiky in-season vegetable comes from the Andalusian Arabic word الْخَرْشُوف (al-ḵaršūf), not from the plant’s fuzzy, “choking” core.] #Etymonday #PlanetWord #DCMuseums #Etymology #WordOfTheDay #Logophile #BestWords #WordsMatter #Artichoke #FolkEtymology

Slik som alle opplyste personar ville ho ikkje seia eitt spesifikt ord var best, men ho bringa opp dette ordet og gav denne forklaringa: "Mixed emotions are hard to convey in language, particularly when they seem lik an oxymoron. Yet Norwegian has managed to capture the mixture of anticipation and dread that we might feel when awaiting something". Nydeleg oppsummert om nydeleg ord.

💬 fashionable (adjective) – popular at a particular time; wearing clothes, doing things, and going to places that are in fashion 📕 Definition – Cambridge Dictionary 🔍 История происхождения слова fashionable Когда речь идет об этимологии, или истории происхождения слова, как правило, лексикографы могут отследить дату, а также источник, в котором слово или фраза были впервые использованы. Сложнее бывает точно определить конкретного человека, который слово придумал или ввел в обиход, особенно если слово или фраза существуют в языке уже не одно столетие. Но в английском языке есть исключение – Уильям Шекспир. Согласно Oxford English Dictionary Шекспир был первым, кто использовал или придумал примерно 1600 (!) слов, больше, чем любой другой писатель. 🔗 Читать далее на https://teachlearnlanguages.com/posts/p/word-story-fashionable/ 📌📚✏️🔥🍏🥇⚓️🚀🖥💡📎⭐️ #teachlearnlanguages #dictionary #englishvocabulary #vocab #englishwords #englishidioms #vocabularywords #английскиеслова #etymology #vocabularybuilding #vocabularyapp #vocabularyoftheday #vocabularyday #английскиефразы #английскийсловарь #английскиеидиомы #englishdictionary #vocabularylearning #wordstory #словарьанглийского #английские_слова
Our new Word of the Week is presented to you by Sixth Formers Jack and Christopher. It's a verb that means to thrive, achieve success, prosper (just in time for this year's external exam season!) Example: The penny finally dropped, and after years of struggling with maths, Jacob started to positively flourish and achieved his target grade. Origin: Middle English florisshen "to put forth flowers, bloom, prosper”; borrowed from Anglo-French florir, "to bloom, grow abundantly, thrive", going back to the Latin verb flōrīre, to begin to flower, gain in strength". #wordoftheweek #word #words #wordlovers #vocabulary #vocabularybuilding #etymology #learning #growing #thriving #staloysiuscollege

Field Cricket - graphite on recycled paper Field crickets are known for their distinctive chirping sounds, which males produce by rubbing their wings together. Interestingly, the frequency of their chirps is correlated with temperature; the warmer the temperature, the faster they chirp. This phenomenon is known as Dolbear's Law and is used by scientists to estimate temperature based on cricket chirping rates. #fieldcricket #insect #etymology #nature #drawing #illustration #denniscicccoli
The act of deliberately causing damage or disruption has a surprising origin story. The word "sabotage" comes from the French word "sabot," meaning "wooden shoe." It is believed to have originated during the Industrial Revolution in France, when disgruntled workers would throw their wooden shoes, or "sabots," into machinery to damage it and halt production as a form of protest. The idea of "sabotage" has since evolved to mean any deliberate act of destruction or interference. From industrial sabotage to modern-day cyber attacks, it's a term that's as relevant as ever. Have you ever witnessed or experienced sabotage? How did it affect you?

Railway “termini”* are portals, through time and space, into our memory and into our imagination. And borders opening up into new frontiers of our self. . . . “Like many others who have lived long in a great capital, she had strong feelings about the various railway termini. They are our gates to the glorious and unknown. Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine, …. …to them, alas! we return.” ~ E. M. Forster . . . * “Termini” means the final point or boundary and is from the Latin “terminus”, in turn from ancient Greek térma (τέρμα), goal and térmōn (τέρμων), border. . . . Photos: 1.

The term we use to describe those little bits of interesting or obscure knowledge has an origin that's anything but trivial! "Trivia" comes from the Latin word "trivium," which literally means "a place where three roads meet." In ancient times, these crossroads were where people often exchanged news, gossip, and random information. Over time, "trivia" came to refer to information that wasn't necessarily important but was still intriguing and fun to share. It's the perfect word for those random facts we love to collect and use to impress our friends at quiz night. What's your favorite piece of trivia?

World Tapir Day is a great excuse to talk about this incredible genus of beautifully-snouted mammal :) South American tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) are the only 1 of the 4 species of tapir around the world NOT classed as Endangered, but are classed as Vulnerable. They are keen swimmers, living near rivers, swamps and lakes, in rainforests... and relying on water for safety, using it to hide from predators (the powerful Jaguar). With a serious strength and a built-in crash helmet at the back of their skull, they have a great series of natural defences. Habitat loss and hunting are their main threats, What's in a name?: - "Tapir / Tapirus" comes from the native South American (Tupi) language "tapyra"... meaning "thick". - "terrestris" from Latin "from the earth", using the word "terra". The densest animals at Dartmoor Zoo (in terms of compressed mass, not brain power... as they are pretty smart), Chana (mum) & Rofilho are a charming welcome to the zoo as people come up the driveway. @worldtapirday #worldtapirday @dartmoorzoo #weboughtazoo #animals #animalsofinstagram #lifebetweenrocks #southamerica #amazonrainforest #etymology @visitdartmoor @visitplymouth #thingstodoindevon @the_tapir_diaries For more information on Tapirs, rainforests and how to help preserve them, follow the link in my bio: https://linkin.bio/rainforesttrustuk/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaLVvsDg1qVUUuGHG4XBHt4npAZEWMhklu7jivUyHW70obsxNH4GA-hWm4_aem_AdmuiMqxu61MXLGeDWaxQpNbzQVYKd92CBBxu_JN_aztMhrshtXF5VeHNqiao5daAE-kljsP7Fh_Tkwa-StBrDdH

When we hear this word, we think of someone who causes reckless destruction or defaces property. But did you know that "vandal" has ancient roots? The term comes from the Vandals, a Germanic tribe that played a significant role in the fall of the Roman Empire. In 455 CE, they famously sacked Rome, leaving a trail of chaos and ruin. Since then, the name "Vandal" has become synonymous with acts of senseless destruction or desecration. It's interesting how the legacy of a historical tribe lives on in our language today.

What does Etumon* mean? Etumon* may be spelt as “AiTuMon” Etumon* means “Sense of a truth” Etumon* is derived from an olden Greek word étumos or ἔτυμος means “true” or “real” from which the Latin word “Etumología” was evolved that later converted in English as “Etymology”.

The Sanskrit word śakti is a popular conception in Yoga and many people are fascinated by it. It’s often interpreted as ‘feminine power,’ which is certainly one of its better known definitions. However, what is śakti‘s deeper meaning? Śakti comes from the Sanskrit root śak, which means ‘to be strong or powerful, to be able or capable or competent.’ From this, śakti has come to mean regal power, divine power, or even a special talent. However, there are other definitions which can also help us to understand śakti. It can mean the efficacy of a remedy in medicine, the inherent power of a word or mantra, or a weapon. My favourite definition is the one from the nyāya tradition: the inner power of a cause to produce an effect. It’s the potential energy that we all have for doing something meaningful in the world that completely accords with who we are.

We hear this term often when talking about learning a trade or craft, but did you know where it comes from? The word "apprentice" has roots in the Old French word "aprendre," meaning "to learn." It also has connections to the Latin "apprehendere," meaning "to seize or grasp." In medieval times, an apprentice was a young person who agreed to work with a master craftsman to learn a skill or trade. This arrangement often lasted several years, during which the apprentice would live with the master and receive training in exchange for labor. Today, the concept of apprenticeship still holds, with apprenticeships being valuable pathways for learning specialized skills through hands-on experience. 🛠️ Have you ever had an apprenticeship or learned a skill from a mentor?

This week, our word of the week is SNUGGERY. It describes a place that is small, but comfortable and cozy. So you could say "Cats can make a snuggery out of even the tiniest boxes". Or maybe "In the winter, with the fire on and blankets out, my living room is quite the snuggery". Or even "The jovial and warm atmosphere makes the pub feel like a very welcome snuggery". Estimated to come from the 19th century, it's a word that really conjures up warm and cozy vibes. #wordoftheweek #wordoftheday #wordsmakemehappy #wordsmakemyday #awordfortheday #awordaday #ilovewords #etymology #originsofwords

💙Sometimes it can feel like an all or nothing scenario, but very few families can go all in on the recommendations for their kids. There aren’t enough resources to make it happen, whether it’s time, money, work leave, sibling care or available providers! 🌷So, start with one thing, and celebrate that step. Checking it off your list will help you feel better, and keep you moving forward. ✅Schedule an evaluation, even if it’s months out ✅Contact a provider about openings ✅Tell a close friend or two how they can support you ✅Ask community/parent groups for recommendations and resources ✅Schedule breaks for you to rejuvenate whenever possible ✅Prioritize your family’s health, love, connection, rest & peace by saying no to non-priorities. (Sometimes you need to shelter in place a bit to protect yourself!) 🐢Remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Take the pace you can handle, grab the waters along the way, and ask for help. 💙 You can do this!

Marcel's forever bringing up that 'something Persian' about the church at Balbec, now to Elstir. « I spoke to him of those great statues of saints, which, mounted on scaffolds, formed a sort of avenue on either side... I told him also that I had gone there expecting to find an almost Persian building, and that this had doubtless been one of the chief factors in my disappointment.» And lo and behold Elstir responds: « 'Indeed, no,' he assured me, 'it is perfectly true. Some parts of it are quite oriental; one of the capitals reproduces so exactly a Persian subject that you cannot account for it by the persistence of Oriental traditions. The carver must have copied some casket brought from the East by explorers.' And he did indeed shew me, later on, the photograph of a capital on which I saw dragons that were almost Chinese devouring one another, but at Balbec this little piece of carving had passed unnoticed by me in the general effect of the building which did not conform to the pattern traced in my mind by the words, 'an almost Persian church.'» Odd response. A casket brought from the East, capitals, a dragon, Persian influence... I've written about this before in relation to excerpts in the last pages of the first volume of A L'Ombre (March 16) - my weird post re mutilated saints lol. But these columns! Treasures brought over from the East The dragon associated with St Theodore. The casket with St Mark. The pink granite of Saint Theodore's mentioned as appearing in Elstir's painting (slide two).... It's odd. Next post : a look into the painting's Place-Name! 🖌️ Antonio Joli, The Piazzetta and the Libreria di San Marco, Venice, Santa Maria della Salute beyond
