The older meaning Of this word was,
as Is well known, equivalent to fool
fish. Now It has the meaning of af-
fectionate. The following instance of
the use of the word In both senses on
the same page of the same work marks
the period of transition, when the old
sense still fingered while the new sense
was coming into use. In DIR. Watts on
THE Improvement Of the Mind" first
edition, 175l, in chapter 10, section 5,
on page ITO, tlnd:
"Some are so fond to know a great
deal at once and love to talk OF things
with freedom and boldness before they
truly understand them that they scarce
ly ever allow themselves attention
enough to search the matter through
and through"
And lower down ON the page, in sec
ton 7, is;
"a soul inspired with the fondest
love of truth and the warmest aspira-
lions after sincere felicity and celestial
beatitude will keep all its powers at
tentlve to the incessant pursuit of
them"
