I thought terminal meant exit. (you exit live, you exit the airport), but it means ending. Learned someting new.

So the (computer) terminal is called terminal, because it is at the end off the network?

Thanks to leonard for pointing me here!

This is the perfect ‘word origin’ lesson in my opinion. Keir asks a question seeking to clear up a confusion between many different words – and does it in a video request so there is a name to a face…

…Marina comes back with a comprehensive answer that answers the question with a word origin. Very different than responding to some ‘Beavis and Butthead’ request to see how she handles something that makes them giggle..

One of the best I’ve seen!

Mott The Hoople – Roll Away The Stone relevant…Dionysus……I think schools teach that stuff to bore the children and it makes for self importance of thee educators….dream the past and depress the mind…Great Video, miss hotforwords

rhoadess: The God of work, is what all folk-lore cries. Some good thinking. Understanding all people is more than reading vocabulary [ixia] Culture is now! **************Bacchus************after grape harvest, and when HotForWords has a party

Got a question, too. What is the meaning of the word “armatura” and where does it come from?

Thanks for the investigation of the word terminal.

A related Roman god may be Pluto, the god of death, who I’m sure had a hand in fixing those nasty boundary stone movers. Funny that would be the name for Mickey Mouse’s dog.
