Word: cyma Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *ḱewh₁- Proto-Indo-European *-mn̥ Proto-Indo-European *ḱúh₁mn̥ Proto-Hellenic *kūmə Ancient Greek κῦμᾰ (kûmă)bor. New Latin cȳmabor. English cyma From New Latin cȳma (“young sprout or shoot of cabbage”) (whence the botanic usage of cyme), from Ancient Greek κῦμα (kûma, “swell, wave”, “cyma”, “sprout of a plant”), from κύω (kúō, “to conceive, to become pregnant”). For more information, click to expand this box. Most English coinages on this root are formed on its short stem, κῡμ- (kūm-). The fact that the Ancient Greek etymon only inflects as a third-declension neuter noun has led some writers to prescribe forms that preserve the root’s long stem, κῡματ- (kūmat-), for philological reasons (see, for example, the 1903 and 1908 citations of cymatoscope), but such forms are rare. Latinate phrases that include cyma, namely cyma inversa, cyma recta, and cyma reversa, show that, when employed as a Latin word, cȳma is treated as a first-declension feminine noun rather than as third-declension neuter consonant-stem noun. There are several Classical precedents, both from Latin and from Ancient Greek, for formations on the short stem (κῡμ- (kūm-)) of this root, although formations on the long stem (κῡματ- (kūmat-)) are more common in Ancient Greek; consequently, whereas formations on the long stem may be preferable, especially when combined with other Ancient Greek elements, formations on the short stem are by no means incorrect. Pronunciation: /ˈsaɪ.mə/ 1. The wavelike, curved shape of a cymatium, consisting of a concave and a convex line; (loosely) the cymatium itself. Example: […] while the double-cyma or classical curve of his mouth was not without a looseness in its close. 2. A cyme (opening bud).

Word: intersectional Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From intersection + -al. Pronunciation: /ˌɪn.təɹˈsɛk.ʃə.nl̩/ 1. Of or pertaining to an intersection, especially of multiple forms of discrimination (for example, the intersection of misogyny and racism which affects black women specifically). Example: Intersectional discrimination is particularly difficult to identify in contexts where economic, cultural, or social forces quietly shape the background such that women are placed in positions where they are affected by some other system of [discrimination]. Example: The second type consists of intersectional discrimination where the multiple discrimination cannot usefully or effectively be broken down into its component parts. Thus a young black woman may suffer discrimination in a way that an older black woman does not. 2. Of or relating to intersectionalism or intersectionality. Example: Hunter has also been serving as coordinator for Jewish life and intersectional programming at the College of Wooster. 3. Encompassing or concerned with multiple different groups or the forms of discrimination they face (for example, inclusive of women of all races and people of color of all genders). Example: “The revolution will be intersectional or it won't be my revolution” (or the more blunt and succinct “The revolution will be intersectional or it will be bullshit”) warn us of the dangers of single-issue/single-marginalization identity. Example: The next Age of the Goddess will not allow for spaces that are exclusionary of trans and nonbinary people, both because it will be intersectional and political, and because it will demand liberation for all.
