two nice words in there that are new to me; 'hadal' and raptorial'
- AnthonBerg 2y agoDidn’t notice ‘hadal’! Kind of glid by. Thanks! Looked up the meaning and the roots of the word. Feel compelled to mention that the etymology is pretty wild. hadal: “of or relating to the deepest ocean; beyond 6000 meters” ← Hades, Greek god of the underworld ← ᾍδης (Hā́idēs) which is ‘Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *n̥- (“not”)+ *weyd- (“see”) + *-ēs (“adjectival suffix”), literally “that which is unseen”’ or ← ‘from *sm̥weyd-(from *sm̥- (compounding stem) + *weyd-(“see”) + *-ēs (“adjectival suffix”), literally “see-together” or “uniter”)’ … according to Wiktionary: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/ᾍδης https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/ᾍδης That’ll be one exploding-head emoji for me please.
