This is the glossary related to everything I made related to the LEGO Elves franchise.

return to main glossary

This is a compiled list with links of every post I have (related to my creations). It is split in a few posts, so that all content (all sections, if we follow the library theme) has its own glossary.

I will add onto this as this blog goes on!

Word of the day:

Care

(kēar)

| verb | To care for; to care about; to take care of; to be care(ful/less)

| common derivated words | Careful; careless; carefully; caring

| origins | Proto-Germanic: Karō (lament, expression of pain, concern). From this came relatives such as the Old High German chara (lament) — which gave rise to the German word Karfreitag (Good Friday, literally "Friday of Lamentation").

| evoluation with english | Modern English: Care (to care for, to be concerned about); Middle English: Care / Carien (to suffer, to be anxious, to have mental pain); Old English (5th to 11th centuries): Caru or Ċearu (meaning "anxiety", "sadness", "mourning", "cry of pain"). Hence the expression careworn (overwhelmed by worry).

| fake info | For centuries, people (and even old dictionaries) thought that "care" came from the Latin "cura" (meaning attention, care, from which we get curator, manicure, pedicure). ​

Scientific proof: Historical linguistics and the laws of phonetic mutation (such as Grimm's Law) have proven that it is impossible for care to come from a cure.
