Take My Word for It
Rv Ernnk coIhv
by FdnK NoiDy
What Is the Origin?

". were wondering apOuL LQe
word bankrupt. Will you please give
us one of your entertaining word
stories about it?-Mrs. G. B. L.
A. A bankrupt is a person with a
broken bench. Here's the way 1t
came about:
In ancient days bankers were
little more than money changers,
and they used to set up business in
doorways, alleyways and IN market
places. Their entire equipment
consisted of a banca 0talian for
bench) upon which their httle cap
ital Of coins was ,stacked4 This Is
the origin of the word bank-a'place
where money is handled.
Now in those days there. was no
Federal Reserve System and no Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corp, These
money changers and lenders would
sometimes suffer financiaia reverses
and go out of business. When such
a thing occurred the bankers bench
was broken to signify that he had
lost all his money. The Italian tenn
was banca rotta, broken bench"
Banca rotta entered French as
banqueroute, which entered English
as bankrupt, the second syllable
from the Latin ruptum, the same
stem from which we have such
words as rupture, corrupt, eruption,
abrupt, interrupt, etc. r,,,
@. Why is a certain kind of VIM
dow blind called a jalousie?-J. P.
A. Jalousie is the French word
for jealousy. Jalousie is pronounced:
zhal-oo-zEE. Jalousie also means
a blind that admits light and air and
permits one to see without being
seen. 1t is likely that the blind was
so called because it prevents a
jealous lover from spying on the
actions of his beloved.
@. In cutting precious stones, why
are the little fiat surfaces called
facetS?-H. j.
A. Facet is from the French
facette, little face" The facet is
so called because you see in 1t d
tiny reflection of your face.s
@. Please give the origin and
meaning Oh tIle/ WOIu eISdIZs-N. Cs
A. Ersatz Is German for substitu-
ton, makeshift, as ersatz coffee,
ersatz flour. Pronounce it: air.
ZAHTSS.
@. How did the mastiff get its
name?-D. T.
A. The mastiff is a very old breed.
The name is said to have evolved
from the Latin mansuetus, "accus-
toned to the hand" hence, tame
enough to pet.

The impression exists in many
quarters that at tournament play
the element Of luck is entirely elimi-
mated from the contest. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
And it Is well that it should be SO,
for this Is one Of the contributing
factors to the success that tourna-
ments continue to enjoy. II all
hazards were removed and the
matches reduced to a pure test of
skill, bridge tournaments would hold
forth little fascination for the pub
lie at large. Only a handful Of
experts would be endowed with the
equipment to win and they, would
carry of the gonfalon with nionoto-
nous regularity. Some may be in
favor Of such a state Of affairs, for
the cutting Of throats that would
naturally ensue would eventually
leave these Kilkenny cats with
nothing but their tails.
With the elimination of luck,
bridge contests would resemble more
closely competitions like chess and
golf. The neighborhood duffer never
gets chance to match strokes with
the top-flight pros, and what sheer
futility it would be If he did. Yet
that same tyro may on occasion find
himself pitted against the bigwigs
of contract and, under the ironic
guidance of the fates, come of with
scalp or two that he will cherish
into. eternity.
East, wearing q newly acquired
toupe, related to me with pathos
the incident which is today re-
corded. The first round Of bidding
was entirely sound, but then it took
a weird turn. South's rebid OF three
spades was intended to show the ace.
This, of course, Is an ill-timed step.
The first duty of bidder Is to find
out what Is going to be trump, and
the showing Of aces should be de-
ferred until such time. North's leap
to six spades was made In the belief
that his partner had a biddable suit,
but, even SO, such action with only
three trumps is not recommended,
particularly when partner presum-
ably has four-card suit. But who
am T to argue with success?
The queen of hearts was opened,
taken with the king, and the club
fnesse tried at once. The two top
diamonds were cashed and q dia-
mond ruffed with the nine Of spades.
The club finesse was repeated and
the ace Of clubs cashed. Then the
ace of hearts and the remaining five
trumps were made separately on a
cross-ruff for a total of - tricks.
True enough, East and West held
exactly the same cards as all other
pairs in the contest. but there was
no way to eliminate the hardship
worked on them by having to meet
North and South at an inspired mo-
ment. West could have held the
opposition to u tricks by opening
a trump, and he no doubt. should
have, but the result would have
been the same zero" which was
chalked up against their score.
