One of my favourite parts of researching a word is getting to find and peruse digital copies of original sources cited by the @OED, including this little nugget from a 1552 British law about woolen cloth, the relevance of which you'll have to wait for an upcoming episode for!
In the meantime, for people here who don't yet follow us on Bluesky, we have a new episode out (!!) wherein we dive into the #etymology of #destroy and #present, talking about tiny prefixes and the relationship between time and gifts! lexitecture.com/2025/01/26/epi…
Seeing as how Twitter is well on the road to becoming a Nazi bar, we're officially active over at 🟦☁️, so please do pop over and give us a follow over there! bsky.app/profile/lexite… #linguistics #WordNerds #etymology #podcast #podcasts
It's New Episode Day!!! Today we're exploring the #etymology of #road and #scavenger, discovering the infuriating addition of a random (IT CAN'T BE RANDOM) "n" into a bunch of words, and get another reminder about how important horses are to history! lexitecture.com/2024/08/07/epi…
Alright folks - looking for a collective noun for a group of socks. Let's hear 'em!
This *can't* be purely coincidence, right? Can't be.

It's only remotely fair if you switch it up (A-Z then Z-A) routinely and regularly.

Etymology of the day is an important one. The root of ‘compassion’ is a Latin word meaning ‘suffer with’.
I’m writing something about the famous field of nominative determinism and would love your best examples. Mine (so far) is the consultant urologist Mr Burns-Cox.
People who speak, but don't speak languages... Languages that both exist and travel between and into countries without anyone speaking them... Blatant racism aside, is this the stupidest thing Trump has ever said?

Look at that! A new episode! This time we're looking at the #etymology of #between and #object, figuring out the basics of being one among two and throwing things down all over the place! #liguistics #podcast #language #podcasts lexitecture.com/2024/02/17/epi…
I like the sounds of this project. Might try to learn some Inuktitut! cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
It's New Episode Day, and what a fine day it is! We're delving into the #etymology of #film and #fine, talking about skin, tongues, death and French cinema (but not in the way you might think)! Hope you enjoy it! lexitecture.com/2024/01/12/epi… #linguistics #podcast #language #podcasts
To pre-emptively correct a thing that comes up in the new episode (!!!!) I'm currently editing, the book is Synonym's Discriminated, by the Rev. Charles John Smith, and it was written in 1871.
"Log" is used to describe a detailed record (particularly of travel or shipping) because in the age of sail, information about a ship's speed was gleaned by throwing an actual log out a porthole with knots tied at regular intervals, and the info was record in the log book.

Well that's certainly something cool! #34 on the @GoodpodsHQ charts for indie educational podcasts! (#96 in the overall educational category)!
