I think these are two fine examples of providing a ‘full’ definition of a word using etymology. I can think with these words after hearing where they came from and having it explained with illustration and wit.

Compare that to the ‘definition’ of porcupine as ‘a large rodent covered with long pointed quills’ – if you aren’t familiar with English – you’d have to look up ‘rodent’ and ‘quills’ at least – to start to get the idea.

The way you’ve done it here is so much better! The gourmet expeience instead of consuming a bland cracker.
