WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

G.: Looking through some
old magazines in the course of
cleaning out the attic, I found
an article written in the 1920s
by a now-forgotten political
sage foretelling events of the
decade ahead. One sentence
ran: Trouble in the years
ahead may we'll be brewing in
the Levant." Now that's a word
you don't see much any more.
AS recall, the "Levant" was
pretty much what we now call
the Near East. Am 1 right
and, whether am or not,
where did the name come
from?-L. L. L., Washington,
DC.
A: You're reasonably accu-
rate in your recollection of the
meaning of "Levant," although
Near East is a more compre-
hensive term. The "Levant"-a
term used as far back as the
time of Shakespeare-meant
the eastern part of the Medi-
terranean Sea and the islands
and countries of that area. 1t
was so called because the sun
rose there, "levant" being the
present participle of the Latin
verb "levare," to rise. Thus
"Levant" pronounced leh-

rising"

by counting nights rather than

throughout the English speak

America and is very common

the "Levant" varied over the
centuries as the political for
tunes of its countries changed.
Generally, though, the Levant
was considered to consist of
the regions from Greece to
Egypt, including Syria, Leba-
non and Palestine.

simply a contraction of -four
