First sentence: At root the word Inquisition signifies as little of evil as the primitive "inquire," or the adjective "inquisitive"; but as words, like persons, lose their characters by bad associations, so "Inquisition" has become infamous and hideous as the name of an executive department of the Roman Catholic church.
