I found some additional information that confuses matters a lot: fungi is supposedly related to the Sanskrit bhuṅkte (bhunkte) meaning "he enjoys". Now don't both perform, execute, discharge and he enjoys appear to be the perfect roots for the f-word???

PS: But “the onus of proof is on he who asserts the positive” — one cannot explain a negative; one can explain a connection, but not a lack of connection.

Hello Marina,

The pages for the Sirius Maxim Radio “Stretch Show” show numbers 2, 3 and 4, which are listed below, are missing the audio file:

http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/03/28/maxim-radio-fourth-show/ http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/03/07/maxim-radio-third-show/ http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/02/22/maxim-radio-stretch-show-2nd-appearance/

But there is some info at this link.

Now why the words function and fungus are related via: M.Fr. fonction, from O.Fr. function, from L. functio (gen. functionis) “performance, execution,” from functus, pp. of fungi “perform, execute, discharge.” but the f-word is unrelated to a root meaning perform, execute, discharge is indeed mystifying! (What does a static fungus have to do with perform, execute, discharge?) Please explain the lack of connection between the f-word and a root meaning perform, execute, discharge.

why do all interviewers seem determined to make any discussion a high energy wacky jolly routine?
