Etymology: From Middle English paternoster, pater noster, from Old English Paternoster, from Latin Pater noster (“our father”) (the first two words of the Oratio Dominica (“the Lord's prayer”)), from pater (“father”) + noster (“our”). The lift and the fishing equipment are named from their resemblance to a rosary.

pos: noun
gloss: A tackle rig with a heavy sinker at the end of the line, and one or more hooks on traces at right angles spaced above the sinker.
pos: noun
examples: A paternoster is any style of hook rig where the hook(s) are on droppers above a fixed sinker. One or two hooks are used on a paternoster rig. The droppers are tied using dropper loops tied directly in the line. The twisted dropper is an ideal knot as it stands out at right angles to the line.
In plain terms, the paternoster is a rig with the weight at the bottom and hook traces (sometimes called snoods by sea anglers) attached above in fixed positions. Besides a tidy presentation, this arrangement allows the sea angler to try more than one bait and you'll often find paternosters with two hooks (or even three or four). Effectively this allows us to hedge our bets and try more baits (which could be the same or different types), thereby increasing the scent and attraction.
PATERNOSTER TWIN This rig is slightly more complicated than the single paternoster, however this rig has the added advantage of having two hooks, these can be different sizes and be baited with different baits.

examples: The important duty of getting rid of uninhabitable houses or insanitary property devolves on the sanitary authority, and requires to be carried out with discrimination.
The insanitary house displayed poor heating and plumbing, arsenical wallpaper and, in the basement area at the front of the house, 'a large wooden dustbin, placed as is frequently the case, where its malodorous and often dangerous contents must be a constant nuisance on the premises'.
Within the minority of nuisance fines for which the ward was recorded, however, there was a striking degree of symmetry across the wards, a difference of only eighteen between the ward with the most insanitary nuisances, Monk Ward, and that with the fewest, Micklegate Ward.

racialism
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From racial + -ism. Coined in 1882 based on the older use of "race" as a synonym of "nation, tribe, ethnic group", later senses (from 1890) from the use of "race" for racial categories.
Base: racial
Affixes: -ism
Inflected forms:
form: racialisms
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: The belief that humans can be categorized as belonging to distinct races, each race being characterized by fixed and heritable traits.
pos: noun
tags: countable
uncountable
examples: Racialism is at the heart of nineteenth-century attempts to develop a science of racial difference, but it appears to have been believed by others—like Hegel, before then, and Crummell and many Africans since—who have had no interest in developing scientific theories.
Never mentioning Delany by name, Vashon lambastes the “combatants” for their racialism, insisting that a belief in “a natural distinction between the white and colored races” only legitimates the racism of blacks’ oppressors.
Yet such racialism was built upon the data of philology, inferring discrete racial groups from different speech varieties.
gloss: Racism, the belief in the existence of different races and that some are superior to others; policies or practices which promote the dominance of one or more races over others.
pos: noun
tags: countable
uncountable
examples: This is The Lie of North American Superiority — an assumption based mainly on our superior living standard. […] This Lie of Superiority, this ill-disguised racialism in us who are always denouncing racialism in other people, is more than an unpleasant breach of good manners. It has deep and evil effects upon the affairs of the world.
Racialism and ultra-nationalism are a major part of the fascist doctrine. We all recall the Hitler emphasis on the Aryan race and I think you can visualize for a moment the Nazi propagandist telling the German people, "You are superior!" Nobody argues with this. If someone confronts you and says, "You know, I am firmly convinced you are the superior type," you don't deny it. […] So the selling of racialism is not nearly as difficult as it might on the surface appear to be. Coupled with this racialism, the ultra-nationalism suggests that if a race is superior why then should it confine itself to the limited territory in which if finds itself.
gloss: Tribalism, nationalism.
