Words From Our Sponsors
| SPONSOR | WORD | COMMENT |
|---|---|---|
| DyNama, Ohio, USA | DOG | Though I'm actually a cat person, I relish the mystery of the word "Dog", the oldest domesticated animal, and our companions for 33,000 years. Not only is the origin of the word "dog" one of the great mysteries of English etymology, but unrelated words for "dog" in other languages are also mystery words of unknown origin! Perhaps it was the invented name of a particular animal or the house or family or town or tribe where he lived, that eventually was applied to every member of the species! |
