Description
English is enriched with a plethora of words from Ancient Greek, whether they were pilfered straight from source, or absorbed via Latin, French or Arabic. In this episode, Rob and Jess investigate just how many there are.
🪐 What do cosmos and chaos literally mean?
🏠 Why is your attic named after Ancient Greece?
🍇 Which fruit gave us the word sycophant?
These questions answered, and many more, in another revelatory (or should that be "apocalyptic") episode of Words Unravelled.
