Dalek
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Topics: literature
media

science-fiction
Etymology: Coined by Terry Nation in 1963 for his script of The Mutants (later retitled "The Daleks"), the second serial of the first season of Doctor Who. Accounts of how he devised the word vary. Within the Doctor Who universe, the word is supposed to be related to the name of the people from whom the Daleks evolved, either the Kaleds (as according to later serial Genesis of the Daleks) or the Dals (as in The Daleks), or to derive from a word meaning "gods" in their (fictional) language, in which the sacred "Book of Predictions" is written. According to the I, Davros audio fiction the book reads "...and on that day, men will become as gods", with the last word pronounced "Dal-eks".

pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: A member of a species of extraterrestrial cyborg mutants who appear in the television programme Doctor Who and are known for travelling in metallic shells, having monotone, mechanically distorted voices, repeating a limited number of phrases, and their fanatical obsession with exterminating other, non-Dalek beings.

pos: noun
tags: figuratively
examples: In an article in The Times Lord Chalfont said: "The programmed Daleks of the French military planners were evolving a plan which was really a carbon copy of the British plan."

Gael
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Borrowed from Irish Gael, alt. Gaol, from earlier Gaoidheal, cognate with Scottish Gaelic Gàidheal and Manx Gael, from Middle Irish Gaídel, from Old Irish Goídel (“Irishman”), a loanword from Old Welsh Guoidel (“wild man, warrior”) (also recorded as a personal name in the Book of Llandaff), from Proto-Brythonic *Guɨðel (“savage, woodsman”), from Proto-Celtic *weidelos (“savage, woodsman”), related to *weidus (“wild”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁weydʰh₁- (“wood, wilderness”) (cf. Old English wāþ (“hunt”)). Doublet of Goidel, unrelated to Gaul or Gallia.
Medieval Irish traditions, including the Lebor Gabála Érenn, trace the origin of the Goídels to an eponymous ancestor, Goídel Glas, but this is no longer held to be the ultimate etymology of the word.

Ensure the meridiem (AM/PM) specification is set accordingly.
Finally, we’ll write the method to render the appointment slot radio buttons. To do this we first have to filter the slots by availabity and by whether AM or PM is selected.

The meridiem for a DateTime can be accessed by the "a" format token: DateTime.local().setZone(z).toFormat("a") //=> "PM" The Luxon Info methods are for finding out what the meridiems are called in different human languages.
The digital clock has four parts: hour, minute, second, and meridiem.[…]Assigning the Current Meridiem (AM/PM) / Since the Digital Clock is in a 12-hour format, you need to assign the appropriate meridiem according to the current hour.
