(transparent Actually Means “to Appear Visible Across” Because You Can See Through It) - Blog Posts

1 year ago

fun fact: the word "transparent" comes from the Latin "trans", which means "happy pride month", and "pareo", meaning "to appear visible"

this is because pride month makes trans people more visible, or something like that

fun fact: the word "prosthetic" comes from the greek word πρόσθεση (prosthesi[1]), meaning addition

fun fact: the auto- prefix (e.g. automobile, autodefenestration, etc.), means "self" in English. But in Greek (at least, Modern Greek), "αυτό" just means "it" (3rd person neuter singular pronoun) and is pronounced "afto"

fun fact: "diaeresis" (those two dots on ä ë ï ö ü (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH GERMAN'S UMLAUT. VERY DIFFERENT THINGS), example: naïve) comes from the Greek word διαίρεση (dieresi[1][2]), meaning "division"

fun fact: there is a word in Spanish for "pulling an all-nighter", "trasnochar". It comes from "trans" (happy pride month), meaning "across", and "noche", meaning "night". Because you're staying awake across the entire night
