@Regran_ed from @etymologyexplorer - tryst: A prearranged meeting, especially between lovers. From Old French tristre (“waiting place, appointed station”), probably from Old Norse treysta (“to make safe, secure”), from traust (a general term for “confidence, trust, security, help, shelter, safe abode”) Related to 'trust' through Old Norse 'traust’ (“confidence”) 💏👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨👯‍♀️ Such passion. It makes sense for a tryst to involve a lot of trust. You’re really putting yourself out there! Happy trysting. . . . #etymologyexplorer #wordoftheday #wordfortheday #wordgram #etymologygram #word #etymology #wotd #vocabulary #learnvocabulary #learnsomethingneweveryday #becomesmartereveryday #englishvocabulary #etymologyrules #language #definition #words #dictionary #unknownwords #obscurewords #languagelovers #wordsofig #wordsmatter #wordmatters #etymologyrules - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2YWiTgsAy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qou3hqsnvs4v

@Regran_ed from @etymologyexplorer - docile: Yielding to control or supervision, direction, or management; subservient. From Latin docilis ("easily taught") from doceo (“I teach”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European deḱ- (“to take”). Related to 'doctor' through Latin 'doceo' ("I teach, instruct") 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ Just because the doctor said, doesn’t mean you have to be docile and blindly accept—they’re human too ya know! But really though, you should probably listen to your doctor. 😂 . . . #etymologyexplorer #wordoftheday #wordfortheday #wordgram #etymologygram #word #etymology #wotd #vocabulary #learnvocabulary #learnsomethingneweveryday #becomesmartereveryday #englishvocabulary #etymologyrules #language #definition #words #dictionary #unknownwords #obscurewords #languagelovers #wordsofig #wordsmatter #wordmatters #etymologyrules - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BofIYSJFnaG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13fingxvb6phu

@Regran_ed from @etymologyexplorer - niche: Any position of opportunity for which one is well-suited, such as a particular market in business Borrowed from French nicher (“make a nest”), from Latin nīdus (“nest”). 🐥🐥🐥 Sometimes you have to find that perfect place to nest and lay those eggs. That’s your niche! . . . #etymologyexplorer #wordoftheday #wordfortheday #wordgram #etymologygram #word #etymology #wotd #vocabulary #learnvocabulary #learnsomethingneweveryday #becomesmartereveryday #englishvocabulary #etymologyrules #language #definition #words #dictionary #unknownwords #obscurewords #languagelovers #wordsofig #wordsmatter #wordmatters #etymologyrules - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BoeVsaBlS50/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10cgmgn4zo3yr

Reposted from @etymologyexplorer motivation: an incentive, reason or willingness to act From Latin ‘motivus’ (stirred) from Proto-Indo-European ‘mew-’ (to move). From Latin this word comes from the idea of stirring to action and developing a motive, and even further back comes from the idea of getting moving!

@Regran_ed from @etymologyexplorer - sublime: Noble and majestic. Impressive and awe-inspiring, yet simple. From Latin sub- (“up to”) + limen (“threshold”). Related to 'limit' (“bound”, “restriction”) through Latin 'limen' 🌞🌞🌞 The noun sublime comes from the sense of something being “up to” the limit of what is possible—like really good music (by Sublime?) or a nice head massage 💆. The verb (solid->gas phase change) comes from medieval alchemy. Vapor was considered to be ethereal and a higher form of nature. But they were obviously wrong, because the highest form of nature is ice cream 🍦, duh. . . . #etymologyexplorer #wordoftheday #wordfortheday #wordgram #etymologygram #word #etymology #wotd #vocabulary #learnvocabulary #learnsomethingneweveryday #becomesmartereveryday #englishvocabulary #etymologyrules #language #definition #words #dictionary #unknownwords #obscurewords #languagelovers #wordsofig #wordsmatter #wordmatters #etymologyrules - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BqUt1a3FVV-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eery8dttszbo

@Regran_ed from @etymologyexplorer - inspire: fill someone with the urge to do something, especially something creative From Latin in (“into”) + spiro (“breathe”) Related to 'spirit' (“enthusiasm”) and 'respiration' (“action of breathing”) through Latin 'spiro' (“breathe”) 🌬💨💨 Hope your muses are breathing creativity into your lives! To me, a burst of inspiration feels like a breath of fresh air; sometimes it’s even like a bellows that sets my little soul on fire. 🔥🔥🔥 This post was inspired by a similar post by @etymagic.
