A WORD
TO THE WISE
By MRS. FRANK COLBY

Syracuse: Many people main
tain that there is no such word
as "enthused," and we do not
find it in our dictionary. What is
your ruling?-R. w. D.
Answer: I make no rulings;
mine is a reporters job. The verb
ito enthuse" is listed in several
good dictionaries. 1t is labeled
"colloquial," which means that
It is suitable for conversational
use. but not suitable for serious
speech or writing. To be enthused
is an Americanism which dates
back more than a century.
Purists have never been happy
over the verb enthuse. For ex-
ample, Richard Grant White
1899 included it among words
that are not words" declaring,
This ridiculous word (enthused)
Is an Americanism in vogue in
the southern part of the United
States. I have never heard or
seen it used, or heard of its use,
by any person born and bred
north of the Potomac If our
Southern friends must have a
new word to express the agita-
ton of soul to which this one
would seem to indicate that they
are peculiarly subject. let them
say that they are 'enthusi-
asmed.'"
Whites fine scorn Is typical of
the hostility with which purists
regarded other such neologisms
as donate, reliable, tireless, &C.
cupy, petroleum c'This word is
one of class which is doing in
jury to the language. "-White) g..

and notarize
Nevertheless, despite the pur-
lists zeal for school mastering
the language, all the foregoing
words, and hundreds more like
them. are accepted as both legi-
innate and proper.
The verb to enthuse, it seems
to me, is now so firmly fixed in
the American idiom that we
should recognize it.
