Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Do you know where the word "introduce" comes from? It comes from the Latin, Intro Ducere, meaning "to guide into". As such, when you introduce you guide something into the issue being discussed, usually some new information, such as the etymology of a relevant word in that context. This happens in some works, when the etymology of words is used as a way to introduce bits of exposition, an explanation to a situation, a point or even a Reason You Suck Speech. This trope shows that the speaker is cultured, smart and - usually - in control, as most people in a pickle don't really worry about etymology. Usually starts with "Do you know where the word 'X' comes from?" - Note that the little etymology lesson must turn out to have something to do with the matter at hand. |
