:oops: Alas ! I am so much busy …

Comment posted on Speed by dictionaricdotcom

Alas ! I am so much busy with my own passion that I have very few time for many other things.
I can see that Marina Eagleskaia has something I will never have : conciseness. She makes short videos and explains not too much not to bore people.
I am not so gifted. I can only make long long videos. I am a real chatterbox and I always treat my topic as if everybody was a scientist eager to reach the summits of knowledge. What more I am not as sexy and young as Marina ! Sobs !

Placebo
Complement and Compliment for Marina’s Video :

PLACEBO is has she said a derivation from PLACERE “to please” in Latin.
But PLACERE gave also PLACID in english “pleasing, calm” and PLAID “soothing”.

Gun
We can add that the Germanic root GUNNR or *GUNDAZ is akin to the Slavic *GUNATI “pushing” that is ГНАТЬ in Russian.
This Indoeuropean root is present in Latin FENSUS “push” used in DEFENSE, OFFENSE and so on. The Latin FENSUS- is an ancient *GUNDOS cognate to *GUNDAZ in Germanic. In Sanscrit (ancestor of Hindi) GHNANTI means “strikes, pushes”. In Greek PHONOS “murder” is also an evolution/mutation of *GUNDOS.

Now a little French chanson :

- Cunégonde, veux-tu du fromage ?
- Oui, Papa, avec du sel dessus !
- Mais, Ma Fille, ce n’est pas l’usage !
- Alors, Papa, Tu peux te le mettre au Cu…
Lock
In French we use the Germanic root LOK in LOQUET “locket”. Concerning the LOCK of hair we use the word BOUCLE “buckle”.
But what about WEDLOCK Marina !!!
Peekaboo Wave
AMIR is a kind of present participle in Arabic and means “ordering”.
