suitable the person was Ostracized
for a given period of time. The bro
ken pieces were called suffrage, u
whose meaning comes directly from
the Latin prefix "sub," meaning
"up" and the verb "fringere," mean
ing to break. Then the word mean
ing vote, "suffragium," originated
from the voting materials. So you
can clearly see how we got our Eng
lish word, suffrage" meaning a
vote or the right of voting.
PanSy
The word pansy, flower, comes
from the old French word, "pensee"
"a thought which takes its mean
ing from the French verb, "penser," 4"
to think. A pansy is deep, purplish
flower, and purple is the color for
thought. Therefore, pansy is the
flower standing for thought and
meditation.
InpecuniOuS
Our word inpecunious is deriver
from our Latin in-pecunia which
means wealth or money. Pecunia
came from the Olu 1dLlu WOIu pSCuo
meaning cattle. In the Olden times
people didn't have money. Instead
they used their cattle for trading
and money. So now we get in mean
ing not plus pecunia meaning mon
ey. The meaning is not having
money or poor.
Financier
Financier means one who pays
out and controls money affairs. This
word comes from the Latin financia
which means the payment Of money.
itself comes from the Latin
word fnis meaning the end. In the
plural form the Latin word fines
means territory or boundaries. In
the olden times the former owner of
a property declared the land to be-
long to the buyer thus putting an
end to the transaction. The money
was called fines because it paid for
(fines). Therefore financier
Is one who handles these fines or
any money transactions.
