Things you learn while playing bar trivia with dive buddies: "sole" is derived from the Latin solea (sandal), which is derived from the equally Latin "solum" (bottom). So, a fish that looks like a sandal or the sole of a foot and lives on the sea floor. ๐Ÿฆ‘ #etymology #fish #scuba #diving
A wedge-shaped, slightly mottled flat fish the same color as the sand around it with two goggly eyes on the same side of its head lies on the ocean floor pondering its etymological origins.

New etymology image: "gun" is short for "Gunilda" "Lady Gunilda" was a Middle English nickname for large siege weapons. This was shortened to "gonnilde", and then to "gunne". "Gunne" ultimately evolved into the modern English word "gun". #etymology #language #linguistics #english_language
