Word: genome Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From earlier genom, from German Genom, coined by German botanist Hans Winkler in 1920 as a blend of Gen (“gene”) + Chromosom (“chromosome”). By surface analysis, gen(e) + -ome, or a blend of gen(e) + (chromos)ome. Spelling altered to reflect the surface analysis. Pronunciation: /ˈd͡ʒiː.nəʊm/, /ˈd͡ʒiː.noʊm/, /d͡ʒɨˈnoʊm/ 1. The complete genetic information (either DNA or, in some viruses, RNA) of an organism. Example: Creating a complete map of the human connectome would therefore be a monumental milestone but not the end of the journey to understanding how our brains work. The achievement will transform neuroscience and serve as the starting point for asking questions we could not otherwise have answered, just as having the human genome has made it possible to ask new questions about cellular and molecular systems. Example: Because of her significant testing, Avery had had DNA sequencing of her “exome,” the part of her genome that makes proteins in the body, said Dr. Michael Wangler, a researcher at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital.

Word: gag Part of Speech: verb Etymology: The noun is from Early Modern English gagge; the verb is from Middle English gaggen.

Labels: transitive Example: “[…] Captain Markam had been found lying half-insensible, gagged and bound, on the floor of the sitting-room, his hands and feet tightly pinioned, and a woollen comforter wound closely round his mouth and neck ; whilst Mrs. Markham's jewel-case, containing valuable jewellery and the secret plans of Port Arthur, had disappeared. […]” Example: They said no word to the landlord, they drank his ale instead, / But they gagged his daughter and bound her to the foot of her narrow bed; / Two of them knelt at her casement, with muskets at their side! 4. To pry or hold open by means of a gag. Labels: transitive Example: 1917, Francis Gregor (translator), De Laudibus Legum Angliae, Sir John Fortescue, written 1468–1471, first published 1543.

Word: Indo-European Part of Speech: name Etymology: Coined by English polymath Thomas Young in 1813, from Indo- + European, relating to the geographical extremes in India and Europe (which was valid before the discovery of Tocharian languages in the early 20th century). Pronunciation: /ˌɪndəʊˌjʊəɹəˈpiːən/ 1. A major language family which includes many of the native languages of Europe, Western Asia and India, with notable Indic, Iranian and European sub-branches. 2. Proto-Indo-European: the hypothetical parent language of the Indo-European language family.
Word: Indo-European Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by English polymath Thomas Young in 1813, from Indo- + European, relating to the geographical extremes in India and Europe (which was valid before the discovery of Tocharian languages in the early 20th century). Pronunciation: /ˌɪndəʊˌjʊəɹəˈpiːən/ 1. A member of the original ethnolinguistic group hypothesized to have spoken Proto-Indo-European and thus to have been the ancestor for most of India and Western Eurasia. Example: Two theories of the origins of the Indo-Europeans currently compete. M. Gimbutas believes that early Indo-Europeans entered southeastern Europe from the Pontic Steppes starting ca. 4500 B.C. and spread from there. C. Renfrew equates early Indo-Europeans with early farmers who entered southeastern Europe from Asia Minor ca. 7000 BC and spread through the continent. Example: Thus, although at least one term for ‘alder’ can be reconstructed to PIE, the wide distribution of this tree prevents it from being diagnostic of the earlier location of the Indo-Europeans. 2. A speaker of any Indo-European language (though especially an ancient one), or a member of an Indo-European culture, who is regarded as a continuation of the Proto-Indo-Europeans in terms of language, ancestry, or cultural affinity. Example: To the same direction points a recent revelation made by Professor Henning who identifies the Gutians or Kutians and Tukres of the ancient Near East that occur in the cuneiform inscriptions of the end of the 3rd millennium B.C. with historical Kuchi-Tocharians, this being the earliest appearance of the Indo-Europeans in history (cf. W. Henning, the first Indo-Europeans in history, "Society and History." […]). Example: We Indo-Europeans are crazy about three! We see the world as earth, sky, water. We see things as having a beginning, a middle, and an end. Do you want a third example? Sure you do—you're Indo-European! 3. A European living in India or the Indies. Labels: rare Example: The sale of looted items persisted for a month, and quick profits were made by burghers and Indo-Europeans. 4. A person of mixed European and Indian or Indonesian ancestry. Labels: broadly, uncommon

Of or relating to the hypothetical parent language of the Indo-European language family. 3. Of or relating to the hypothetical group of peoples that spread early Indo-European languages. Example: As there is no evidence for Indo-European apiculture, we have to reckon with foreign origin for κηρός […]. 4. Of or relating to persons of mixed European and Indian or Indonesian ancestry.

Word: brotus Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Mitford Mathews suggested in 1951 that the term derived from brot (“scrap(s), small amount(s)”), a northern England dialectal term ultimately derived from Old English brēotan, but Frederic Cassidy notes that this has "no connection to the marketing context" and Joey Lee Dillard finds the idea "unconvincing". Cassidy mentions that the term might be related to Jamaican Creole braata (“little extra given by a seller to a buyer”), though he considers this "questionable" because "the stressed vowel is rather different … and the final -us of the American form would have to be accounted for"; the Jamaican term might derive from a Spanish cognate of Portuguese barato (“favour”). An African origin has also been suggested, but not substantiated; The African Heritage of American English for example suggests derivation from an African word mbata meaning "something given on credit, without payment", but Kongo mbata in fact means "perquisite, commission, brokerage". Pronunciation: /ˈbɹəʊ.təs/, /ˈbɹoʊ.təs/ 1. Something added at no extra charge, such as the thirteenth item in a baker's dozen. Labels: Southern-US, dialectal

The term's further history is unknown; it may ultimately be a derivation from Middle Persian 𐭢𐭥𐭫𐭢 (gurg, “wolf”), though that would be phonologically challenging; compare Parthian 𐭅𐭉𐭓𐭔𐭍 pl (wiruž-ān), Old Armenian վիր-ք (vir-kʻ), Old East Slavic гурзи (gurzi).
