stramonium
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: From New Latin stramonium, stramonia (attested since the 1540s), of unknown origin. (Compare Italian stramonio, attested since at least the 1560s.) The English word is attested since the 1660s. Some older dictionaries speculated that stramonium, as well as Russian дурма́н (durmán), might derive from a Turkic source like Tatar *turman (“medicine for horses”), but the Russian word is now thought to be an internal (native) formation, and the Tatar word, properly дәрман (därman, “remedy”), derives from Persian.

pos: noun

examples: Yet no-one would deny that a form of ‘newspeak’, however altered, is all too prevalent. Where [George] Orwell’s society was governed by the stick, we are offered the carrot. The truncation of the language on ‘Airstrip One’ was a logical response to the harsh social engineering that engendered it. The soothing, delusory world of ‘equality’, of much-touted ‘democracy’, has created a ‘newspeak’ all its own. Rather than shorten the language it is infinitely broadened; instead of curt monosyllables, there are mellifluous, calming phrases, designed to allay suspicions, modify facts and divert one’s attention from difficulties.
[T]he last stage in the evolution of the Russian literary avant-garde and its final demise was marked by its sharp and growing conflict with the rise of newspeak. The concept of newspeak has been with us now for quite some time. However, it only recently began to be treated as an exponent of a certain cultural vision advanced by sheer and impudent political power. At the same time, it is more than that. Newspeak can be defined as discourse, proper or peculiar to the totalitarian state and transmitted through the manipulative use of language to all sectors and institutions of the state.
[…] Soviet ideology itself may be more productively viewed as the result of conscious attempts to explicate and rationalize assorted discursive strategies, or mechanisms, of newspeak, in much the same way as grammatical rules are invented to describe diverse linguistic practices.
