One of my daily emails comes from the good folks at Merriam Webster – “Word of the Day.” Most days I recognize the word and know its definition but there is always the etymology section of the email that traces its origin. It is perpetually fascinating to me how words and associated meaning morph and change. “We now recognize that a mouse isn’t always a rodent, and that the web might not be made by spiders. We understand cookie and bug as software today just as easily as we recognize their older meanings; context is the key to understanding words with several meanings.”
