Etymology Etymology of recession Stock

etymologie bourse situation market continues to pitch.

What is the etymology of the word scholarship?

There are 3 meaning to that word: it means that the small pouch that can hold a few pieces, the stock market where trading takes place, and the bag containing the testicles.

The three are obviously interrelated. In Greek bursa was the skin. Latin, was inspired to describe the leather in the 4th century. Then, by extension, the small leather bag to collect the money. This small bag can recall the envelope of skin containing the testes, and explain the widening net.

Difference between astronaut, cosmonaut, astronaut and taikonaut

etymologie astronaute The Chinese have sent again 3 Men in the Moon, the Shenzhou VII .

Perhaps you have already noticed, the term sometimes speak of an astronaut, cosmonaut, astronaut and cosmonaut of. Why?

Each of these words has the same meaning, the difference is the nationality of the person traveling in space.
Thus, astronaut (Greek astron meaning "star" and boatmen, "browser") relates to space travelers as European Americans.

Cosmonauts are Russian (Greek kosmos meaning "universe").

The term astronaut is a hybrid word, coming from both Latin spatium meaning "space", and Greek nauts "browser." The term first appeared when the French wanted to have autonomy in space. Since the term is used in France to talk about a man who goes into space.

The term astronaut comes from Chinese literally means "man of great emptiness" (Taikong of "emptiness" and rén "man").

To write this article I am greatly inspired by Wikipedia ( http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronaute ).

Clever Names Of Consignment Stores

of sexuality in the Congress ...

etymologie congres From 14 to 16 November 2008, will be held on Congress of the Socialist Party of Reims.

What is the origin of the word conference? This word comes from Latin Congressus , which means meeting, itself derived from congredi , which means to walk with ( cum = together; gradi = walk). Thus, the Congress as we know it today derives from the meaning "walking together". It is not clear that the socialists will march together in November.

funny anecdote: in the 16th and 17th centuries, Congress meant something completely forgotten today ... that of sexual union. And yes, at that time when a man was accused of impotence, he had to prove his strength ... in copulating with his partner witnessed. That was the Congress. Like what, etymology, it can also make you smile!

Two Front Teeth Is Little Next

milk

etymologie lait In China, tragically , the liquid symbol of life turned into a symbol of death.

Where does the word milk?

How Much Restoril Can I Take

Etymology of crash

etymologie krach In this period of market uncertainty , it occurred to me interesting to look at the history of the word "crash".

It has a double origin. English First is the benchmark for the first time in the 14th century, and presumably derived from an onomatopoeia.
So, will you ask me, why do we Spells with a K?

Well, because in 1873 the Vienna Stock Exchange collapsed, and was resumed at the time the term in German. And if you have a vague memory of your years on the benches of the school in 1929, there were quite a stampede marketplace where the term was spent.

So soon crash again?
