heartache
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From Middle English heorteece, heorte-ece, from Old English heorteċe, equivalent to heart + ache. Blends both literal and figurative aspects, as emotional distress sometimes includes a physical element of chest discomfort. Compare heartbreak § Etymology, where the literal aspect is lesser, though it still can be said to have a physiological basis.

She was carrying an armful of Bibles for her class, and such was her view of life that events which produced heartache in others wrought beatific smiles upon her—an enviable result, although, in the opinion of Angel, it was obtained by a curiously unnatural sacrifice of humanity to mysticism.
Heaven knows what pains the author has been at, what bitter experiences he has endured and what heartache suffered, to give some chance reader a few hours' relaxation or to while away the tedium of a journey.
While this town is busy sleeping / All the noise has died away / I walk the streets to stop my weeping / 'Cause she'll never change her ways / But don't fool yourself / She was heartache from the moment that you met her / Ah, my heart feels so still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow / Oh, I think I've forgotten her now / Her love is a rose, pale and dying / Dropping her petals in land unknown / All full of wine, the world before her / Was sober with no place to go / Mm, don't fool yourself / She was heartache from the moment that you met her / My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her somehow / She's somewhere out there now

Senses:
gloss: A layperson as opposed to a cleric, i.e. not a member of the clergy.
pos: noun
examples: Laic and laicist derive from the same root. Why did their meanings diverge? What meaning do they share? Both apply to people who believe that the well-being of societies requires that religious doctrines and churches do not interfere with the functioning of the state. To the laic, this end is reached when the state refrains from taking side with one confession against one or more other confessions, from supporting one citizen at the expense of another because of his or her religion. From an ideal—typical perspective, a laic state shows and practices neutrality between different confessions. To the laicist state, this is fine but not enough; neutrality between confessions is the goal, and state institutions have the responsibility to create egalitarian conditions. The state's job is to actively provide an environment equally propitious to believers in some God, agnostics, and atheists, and to stifle any attempt at endorsing confessional discriminations or church interference in public life.
gloss: Lay, relating to laypersons, as opposed to clerical.
pos: adj

quo
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Inflected forms:

pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: Paired with quid, in reference to the phrase quid pro quo (“this for that”): something given in exchange for something else.
pos: noun
examples: […]; but what is the quo for which they ought to give the quid? you say they ought to give a quid pro quo; what is the quo? […]; the quo there was the taking up of the streets? […]; did not they give you a pretty handsome quid for the quo there?
Quid pro quo benefits are by nature differentially available to individuals, depending upon the quo—upon what promise has been made or performance provided.
Indeed, asymmetry precludes the possibility of pointing to any particular quo that is meant to recompense the quid. If an erstwhile case of criminal bribery bleeds into a lesser violation of the prophylactic gift rules as an identifable^([sic]) quo moves beyond view, then in similar fashion the quid pro quos we popularly debate descend into tokens of affection and regard as the quo'''s begin to fluctuate wildly in value. If there exists any kind of inequity between quid and quo, then—on this line of argument—the expansive category of “friendship” emerges to account for it, siphoning the situation away from the class of objectionable quid pro quo. The claim officials here make—that for a quid to have a quo there must be some equivalency between the two—draws theoretical sustenance from the objective, exclusionary approach that critics of classical contract law apply to disproportionate exchanges.
Corruption, the Court declared in Buckley v. Valeo, involves a quid pro quo: an officeholder doing something in office in return for money or some other favor provided by another individual or entity (for our purposes, a corporation). The problem, however, is that in principle there can be a quid—the money or favor offered by the business to the official—and a quo—the action taken by the official that benefits the business—without any clear evidence of a pro, that is, that the two are connected.[…]The “pro,” the connection between quid and quo, might take place only inside the minds of the official and businessperson concerned.[…]What this means is that we cannot use the quo itself as indirect evidence for the pro.
It is hard to pull off a quid pro quo if the holder of the quo doesn’t know about the quid.

dreidel
Part of speech: noun

Etymology: Borrowed from Yiddish דריידל (dreydl, “dreidel; spinning top”), probably a blend of דרייען (dreyen, “to spin; to turn; to twist”) + טרענדל (trendl, “(dated) dreidel; spinning top”). דרייען (dreyen) is derived from Middle High German dræn, from Old High German drāen (“to turn; to twist”), from Proto-West Germanic *þrāan, from Proto-Germanic *þrēaną (“to turn; to twist”), from Proto-Indo-European *terh₁- (“to turn; to rub; to drill, pierce”); and טרענדל (trendl) is derived from Middle High German trendel (“spinning top”), from Proto-Germanic *trandijaną (“to revolve, spin”).
