of them don't stick A word becomes a
permanent part of the language only
when it fills specific need. The inven-
ton of the electric chair brought us
the word .'electrocute," compound
of Electricity" and execute" The
discovery of electricity involved a
whole new set of units of measurement,
and they we're named after pioneer
scientists Thus we have volts IN

named after James Watt, inventor of
the Steam engine.
The word blizzard" was coined in
1929 to mean a sharp blow. but it
failed to take hold until an American
newspaperman used it in 1870 to help
him describe the terrible snowstorm
of that year. Since then other writers
have tried to get their invented words
adopted by the public. but without
much success. The reason is largely
that a word must be kept before a
large portion of the public before it
becomes sufficiently familiar to take
ITS place in everyday speech. Several
trade names today have taken the
place of the actual nouns for The
articles that made them famous; many
people refer to monographs as "Vic-
trolas" or "Gramophones" and sleep
ing cars as "Pullmans Very rarely,
an article is named after its inventor,
but we have a very common example
of this today in the saxophone, an
instrument named after its inventor,
Adolf Sax.
English is mixture OF many Ian
guages One Of the leftovers from the
Norman Conquest, when French was
the official language of England. is IN
our words for meats, which we still
cali by the French names for the
animals themselves. The flesh of the
OK is called beef from the French word
for OK, "boeuf." In the same way the
French word for sheep, "mouton, has
become our word mutton. French
"veau" is our veal. and the meat of the
pig is called pork, from the French
word pore"

- UR language IS constantly
changing partly because ne"
~ words are added. partly be-
cause the meanings of old words
change For instance, we think of a
gun moll'' as guntotlng gangster
girl, but it really means female
pIckpocket who works with gun
mob The gun" has nothing to do
with firearms but Is twisted con-
traction of the Ylddish word for thief
'gonnlf."
1t Is not only in slang that the sense
of words strays from original sources
and meanings Our language is full OF
words and phrases whose original
form has been changed because OF
misleading similarities in the sounds OF
unrelated words. For example,
Jerusalem artichokes have nothing to
do with Jerusalem - Jerusalem was
the nearest familiar combination OF
sounds to the original word. which was
the Italian 'girasol," which means to
turn toward the sun. Jordan almonds
have nothing to do with the river
Jordan. but were originally Jardyne
almonds, from the French word for
garden. "jardin." And we speak of a
bllndfold as bandage to fold over the
eyes. but the word 'blindfold" comes
from the verb "bindfell," which
means to strike blind, and has nothing
to do with folding Similarly, the
famous London street Rotten Row got
ITS name from the misprOnunCIatlon
OF the French name Route du Roi,
which translates to Road of the
King
Some words change in meaning for
no apparent reason. Such changes
explain the fact that the architect OF
81, Paul's Cathedral was pleased when
King James called IT amusing. awful,
and artificial" In those days amusing
meant amazing. awful meant awe
inspiring. and artificial meant artistic.
Another type of shift IN meaning Is
exemplllled by what etymologists call
"dDublctS Ii Il man asked you TO
botch a lob when he meant you 10

his guard. or to be his host when ne

One of the etymologist S most dli-

words that sound and look alike, and

For example, the words "shamblc

and "shambles' have no connection
with each other. To shamble, means to
walk awkwardly; but "shambles" were
originally stalls in which butchers
showed meat ."Cavlng in" has nothing
to do with caves. The original term
