English dessert
Borrowed from Middle French dessert, from desservir (“disserve”), from dés- (“dis-”) and servir (“serve”), thus literally meaning “removal of what has been served”.
Note: It was erroneously suggested (e.g. in "Glucose syrups: Technology and Applications" (Peter Hull, 2010)) that the word is derived from the name of Benjamin Delessert, the inventor of beet sugar. However, the term predates him by at least a century.

Etymology: From Middle English sterbord, stere-bourd, stere-burd, from Old English stēorbord, from Proto-West Germanic *steurubord, equivalent to steer + board (“side (of a ship)”), referring to ancient ships with the steering oar set to the right (to accommodate right-handed crew). Ships had to dock on their left (port) side because the steering oar on the right would get in the way, which is how the left became known as the port side.

If there is an even number of observations, then there is no single middle value; the median is then usually defined to be the mean of the two middle values.

antitype
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: From Ancient Greek ἀντίτυπος (antítupos).
Inflected forms:
form: antitypes
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: Something that is symbolized or represented by a type, such as Christ by the Paschal Lamb; the fulfillment of a type.
pos: noun
examples: Types are generally worked out in Old Testament times through ancient Israel, and have their antitype fulfillment in New Testament times through Christ and His Church.
Type is inferior to antitype, in that it is only a shadow. However the type has real existence. The type is always temporal; the antitype is eternal.
When we talk about the type meeting the antitype, we mean the antitype materialized, or became manifest, to fulfill the type. Generally, the meeting of the type and the antitype is marked by an event of theological significance.
gloss: A type that represents the opposite or antagonist of another type.
pos: noun
examples: The figures of the confidence man and the painted woman were offered as antitypes of proper conduct in mid-nineteenth-century America.
The historical effect of the persecution of witches was to restrict women's independent authority and to establish a strong antitype image of self-directed women.
Just as the erotic imagination projects its antitype through an act of repression, Shelley's rhetoric begins in a negative gesture, banishing the truth of the origin's textualization.
