Ocean Words Origin Language Arts - Grade (middle school) Teachers: The purpose of this activity is to help students understand word origins using ties between modern language and maritime cultures. Objectives: Identify how the modern meaning of several words have changed from the sense they originally had in maritime cultures. Recognize how the ocean's prominence in our culture has shaped our language. Create a hypothesis about the original ocean related meanings of everyday words. Teacher Background: Many of the words used every day have their origins in maritime cultures. Considering that it wasn't until this century that continent to continent travel took place on ships, many of our ancestors traveled to the United States on ships. Thus, many of the first settlements founded were ports. These settlements depended on the ocean for food, trade, travel, and news from their home countries. It only makes sense that many words reflect this past and present ocean culture. Some phrases seem obvious. Don't give up the ship Like a fish out of water Take the wind out of his sails The name of our country is taken from an ocean map maker

62. More Word Origins 8 Jerk The origin of the common English word jerk is unknown. The ancient origin of the word is from a IndoEuropean root for healthy or strong, http://www.pballew.net/arithme8.html

Math Words, pg 8 Back to Math Words Alphabetical Index Abundant Abundant numbers are numbers whose proper divisors total to more than the number. Twelve is the smallest abundant number because the sum of its proper divisors, 1+ 2+ 3+ 4+ 6 = 16 which is greater than 12. The word is from the union of the Latin roots ab , away, and undare , to flow. Literally then, the word means overflowing, and refers to a general excess of something. The ancient Greeks often applied mystical properties to numbers and used them to predict futures and personal fortunes. They worked with Perfect, abundant, and deficient numbers as early as 100 years before the Christian Era. The first known use of "abundant number" in English was by Robert Recorde in Whetstone of Witte during the Sixteenth Century. Addend The word we now use for the numbers to be added together is shortened from the word addendum. Originally the word was applied only to the values after the first. For example in 4 + 3 the three was considered an addend but not the four, since only the three was being "added". The Latin phrase was numeri addenda . By the 1600's the word seems to have been applied equally to any of the numbers to be added. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word was first used in English in a 1696 book by Samuel Jeake "Place the Addends in rank and file one directly under another".

63. More Word Origins 5 Formula The origin of formula is from the Latin forma from which we get the word directly a math word, but its origin was interesting enough to include. http://www.pballew.net/arithme5.html

Math Words, pg 5 Back to Math Words Alphabetical Index Barycenter The word barycenter is another term for the center of gravity or centroid. The Greek root is barus which generally refers to weighty or heavy. The more ancient Indo-European root seems to have come from a word like "gwerus" and has relatives in our words for gravity and grave. Another word derived from the same root is baryon , the name for a family of particles that are heavier (more massive) than mesons. The word barometer also comes from the same root and is so named because, in a sense, it measures how heavy the air is. Another related word still in current use is baritone, which literally means heavy voiced. The science names for the chemical barium and the ore from which we obtain it, barite, also called "heavy spar", are both from the same root. The History of Math web site at St. Andrews University in Scotland credits the creation of barycenters to August Möbius (1790-1868): In 1827 Möbius published Der barycentrische Calcul, a geometrical book which studies transformations of lines and conics. The novel feature of this work is the introduction of barycentric coordinates. Given any triangle ABC then if weights a, b and c are placed at A, B and C respectively then a point P, the center of gravity, is determined. Möbius showed that every point P in the plane is determined by the homogeneous coordinates [a,b,c], the weights required to be placed at A, B and C to give the center of gravity at P. The importance here is that Möbius was considering directed quantities, an early appearance of vectors.

Author Information Description "Millions of people want to know the origin of the words they use. Word columns in daily newspapers and numerous books attempt to satisfy their curiosity. Word histories are usually digested like pills: the user is interested in getting well, not in the chemistry of the prescribed medication. Those who send letters to the Editor also want a straight answer without bothering about how "editors" come by their knowledge. Therefore, they fail to realize that etymologies are seldom definitive and that the science of etymology is intensely interesting. Perhaps if someone explained to them that, compared to the drama of words, Hamlet is a light farce, they might develop a more informed attitude toward philological research and become students of historical linguistics rather than gullible consumers of journalists' pap."Anatoly Liberman

75. Toast D. word origins and Their Romantic Stories. New York Funk Wagnall’s, 1950. Shipley, Joseph. Dictionary of word origins. Savage, MD Rowman http://courses.lib.odu.edu/engl/jbing/444-Joshua.html

Joshua Podesta Dr. Bing English 444U 20 November 2000 Etymology Project: Toast The most common usages of the word toast in American English today are as a noun meaning "bread browned by fire or electric heat" or as a verb which describes the act of browning bread (Oxford English Dictionary 173, hereafter referred to as OED). A toast can also describe the act of drinking to one’s health, particularly admired lady (Funk 178) or, more loosely, to ascribe any meaning to the act of drinking, to drink to a person or thing or sentiment (OED 174). The English word toast can be traced back to the Indo-European word *ters, which meant dry. (Shipley 408). It is unclear whether *ters was used as an adjective, a verb, or both in the Indo-European language. From this root are also derived the words torrent, terrace, the British usage torsk, the Spanish tostada, the Norse cusk, and the Latin terra, which has found its way into English in a number of permutations (Shipley 408, 9). The Latin word terra means "dry earth". This word is the basis for a large number of words that have come into the English language either directly from the Latin or through a variety of other languages.
