DICTUM- dic⋅tum /ˈdɪktəm/
Origin:
[Latin, from neuter past participle of dīcere, to say; see deik- in Indo-European roots.]
1660–70; < L: something said, a saying, command, word, n. use of neut. ptp. of dīcere to say, speak; cf. index
dic·tum (dĭk'təm)
n. pl. dic·ta (-tə) or dic·tums
An authoritative, often formal pronouncement
BRAVADO- from the French word bravade (1583), meaning bragging or boasting. Also influenced by Spanish words ending in -ado.
Pejorative: "depreciative, disparaging," from French: péjoratif (fem. péjorative), Latin: pejor "worse," related to pessimus "worst," pessum "downward, to the ground." English: had pejorate "to worsen" from 1644.
Good job so far. Remember to check back here and write the language of origin and etymology on your vocab master list. Try to put these in your own words--I may make a commandment that no copying and pasting allowed!! Read what the etymology is and then give us an abridged version!
This is a grade (and an easy one at that!).
QUAGMIRE (N) It comes from Middle English meaning a bog or marsh as the meaning for "Quag" and shaking and trembling as the meaning for "Mire" It was first reccorded in 1775.
Ubiquitous: deriving from the modern french word ubiquité in 1579. It means existing everywhere. In 1837, the Lutheram Theological positions specifically recognized it as the omnipresence of Christ.
lexicon: derived from the greek word lexikon in 1603 and means pertaining to words
multifarious: 1593, derived from the Latin word "multifarius" multi- "many" -fariam "parts,"
OBSEQUIOUS is Latin. Ob means after and sequ means follow. It was osequi in 1450 meaning "to accommodate oneself to the will of another" but it took its current form in 1599 meaning "prompt to serve".
"Mariaporque"
from spanish
meaning -small little fighing man
