OUR MOST HYBRID WORD.
Misunderstanding" Can Boast of Hav-
ins Five Language Parents.

Misunderstanding" Can Boast of Hav-
ing Five Language Parents.
The most hybrid word in the English
language, according to Professor A. F.
Chamberlain of Clarke university,
writing in the Popular Science Month
~, is "remacadamiZing" Professor
Clarke points out that this word Is de-
rived from five languages-Latin. Gae-
lie, Hebrew. Greek and English. He
resolves 1t into its factors as follows:
First.-Re, a Latin prefix. signifying
a repetition or doing over again.
Second.-Mac. Gaelic word for son,
in common use as a prefix for genoa
logical purposes.
Third.-Adam, the representative In
many European languages of the He
brew name of the first man, according
to the Mosaic account Of the creation
as given in the book Of Genesis.
Fourth.-Iz Tor ize). the modern Eng
lish representative, through the French,
iser of the Greek verbal terminal kein.
Fifth.-Ing. the English suffix of the
participle present. verbal noun, etc.
The root of this word, "macadam,"
Illustrates in another way the vitality
OF our English speech and its ability
to draw new words into it's vocabulary
whenever the need arises. The term
"macadam" is really the family name
Of the man. John Macadam, who in
1919 devised the now common method
of paving roads with small broken
stones, etc. Celtic and Semitic had al
ready combined to produce macadam,
meaning "son Of ADAM" which the
English language then took up and
further nodded to suit its genius.
There are many such hybrids. but
this is probably the worst.
