From Latin gaudeō (“to feel joy”) + mihi (“to me”), with the expression being ungrammatical in Latin.

Dildo: A dildo (probably via Italian diletto 'delight' from Latin dilectio, verbal noun from diligere 'to esteem, to love')

kurze, anekdotenhafte, unterhaltsame Geschichte.

is the perpetual, inalienable ownership of real estate by a corporation or legal institution; the term is usually used in the context of its prohibition. The term mortmain is derived from Medieval Latin mortua manus, literally "dead hand", through Old French morte main[3] (in modern French, mainmorte).

William Blackstone wrote, in 1765, "The reason of [this] appellation Sir Edward Coke offers [an explanation of] these purchases being usually made by ecclesiastical bodies, the members of which (being professed) were reckoned dead persons in law, land therefore, holden by them, might with great propriety be said to be held in mortua manu. [in dead hands]."

Die Orthoepie, auch Orthoepik, (von altgr. orthoépeia: aus ὀρθός orthós, ‚(auf)recht‘, ‚richtig‘, + epeĩn, ‚sagen‘) ist die zur Orthographie analoge Lehre von bzw. Regelung der normierten Standardlautung einer Standardsprache, frei von regionalen Einflüssen (Standardaussprache).

Das deutsche Wort dafür ist Rechtlautung, eine Parallelbildung zu Rechtschreibung für Orthographie, da Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts das „näherliegende“ Rechtsprechung bereits als Verdeutschung für Jurisprudenz etabliert war. Die Halbvorsilbe Recht- zeigt dabei (bei beiden Begriffen) an, dass es sich nicht um eine deskriptive, sondern um ein präskriptive Betrachtung der Sprache handelt.

Das Gegenstück dazu ist die „Kakoepie“ (schlechte oder falsche Aussprache

is the quality of having or showing understanding and the ability to make good judgments. In the *Historisches Wörterbuch der Philosophie* (HWPh), *sagacity* (from the Latin *sagire*—to sense, to be on the trail) is defined as acuteness of mind or the gift of inquiry. It is identified as the exploratory aspect of orientation. It describes the ability to “discover something” and is regarded as a natural talent—or gift—for knowing exactly how to search effectively.

From Latin pēdīcāt- (perfect passive participial stem of pēdīcō (“sodomize, assfuck”)) +‎ -ion.

The difference in denotations between basic obscene Latin verbs for taking an 'active' insertive role in sexual penetration, futuō (“to penetrate vaginally”), pēdīcō (“to penetrate anally, sodomize”), and irrumō (“to penetrate orally, facefuck”), depended on the orifice being penetrated rather than the gender of the one being penetrated. Thus, despite the hypothesis of an etymological link with παιδεραστία (paiderastía, “pederasty”), and potential connotational associations with a male object, this verb does not exclusively refer to homosexual activity: it could also be used of a man engaging in anal sex with a woman.

Ostung ist die gezielte Ausrichtung eines Kirchengebäudes, eines anderen Sakralbaus oder einer Landkarte nach Osten bzw. in Richtung der aufgehenden Sonne. Verwandt ist auch der Begriff Orientierung (ursprünglich ‚Ostausrichtung‘, wie Orient von lateinisch oriens ‚Osten, Morgen‘, Partizip Präsens von oriri ‚aufgehen, sich erheben‘; eigentlich sol oriens ‚aufgehende Sonne‘). Dies hat vor allem bei frühchristlichen und mittelalterlichen Kirchen (siehe Romanik, Gotik) Bedeutung.

Im Westen, vor allem in Rom, herrschte zunächst die gegenteilige Praxis. Alle der frühesten römischen Kirchen hatten, wie im jüdischen Tempel in Jerusalem, den Eingang im Osten, das Allerheiligste im Westen. Für den Priester war es darum das Gleiche, ad orientem oder versus populum zu zelebrieren. Erst im 8. oder 9. Jahrhundert nahm man in Rom die Anordnung an, Kirchen mit westlichem Haupteingang und Altar am östlichen Ende zu bauen, wie es bereits in den fränkischen Ländern verbreitet war.

Orthoepy is the study of pronunciation of a particular language, within a specific oral tradition. The term is from the Greek ὀρθοέπεια orthoepeia, from ὀρθός orthos ('correct') and ἔπος epos ('speech'). The antonym is cacoepy "bad or wrong pronunciation". The pronunciation of the word orthoepy itself varies widely; the OED recognizes the variants /ˈɔːθəʊ.iːpi/, /ˈɔːθəʊ.ɛpi/, /ˈɔːθəʊ.ɨpi/, and /ɔːˈθəʊ.ɨpi/ for British English, as well as /ɔrˈθoʊ.əpi/ for American English.

Common onomatopoeias in English include animal noises such as oink, meow, roar, and chirp, among various other noise-based verbs and nouns such as beep, simmer, or hiccup, fanfare, pigeon, and cough.

Onomatopoeia is a type of word, or the process of creating a word, that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests a sound that it refers to.

From ancient Greek ὀνοματοποίησις onomatopoíesis or ὀνοματοποιΐα onomatopoiḯa “creation of a name,” both from ὀνοματοποιεῖν onomatopoieín “a name to shape, to name”).

The term Nepenthes (from the Greek *ne* meaning "not" and *penthos* meaning "sorrow" or "grief") traces back to Homer's *Odyssey*. In the epic, Helen serves a mysterious potion of the same name, said to banish sorrow and worry and cause all pain to be forgotten;

historians speculate that this was opium. In the 17th century, Carl Linnaeus named the carnivorous *Nepenthes* plant (pitcher plant) after this myth, as it was considered a medicinal plant capable of dispelling sorrow.

It is surmised that *nepenthes*—which Helen is said to have offered to Telemachus (and his friends) at every opportunity, such as upon his arrival in Sparta—was an actual opiate or a preparation derived from it (opium juice) (cf. laudanum), or referred to cannabis; this is particularly plausible given that, in (Egyptian) antiquity, hashish was apparently served with wine after meals in the form of "happiness pills" designed to induce a pleasant mood.

Langmütig zu sein heißt, das verkehrte Handeln oder die Provokationen eines anderen geduldig zu ertragen und die Hoffnung nicht aufzugeben, dass sich das gestörte Verhältnis bessern wird.

Der mit „langsam zum Zorn“ („langmütig“ in einigen Übersetzungen) wiedergegebene hebräische Ausdruck bedeutet wörtlich „Länge der (beiden) Nasenlöcher [wo der Zorn entbrennt]“ (2Mo 34:6; 4Mo 14:18;). Das griechische Wort makrothymía (Langmut) bedeutet wörtlich „Länge an Geist“ (Rö 2:4, Int). Sowohl die hebräischen als auch die griechischen Ausdrücke bezeichnen Geduld, Nachsicht und Langsamsein zum Zorn.

is the derived noun used by classical Greek writers. The phrase is adjectival, composed of two adjectives, καλός ("beautiful") and ἀγαθός ("good" or "virtuous"). The chivalrous ideal of the complete human personality, harmonious in mind and body, foursquare in battle and speech, song and action.

dt: Die Bezeichnung Jalousie erklärt sich dabei aus der Nachbildung von Gittern nach orientalischen Vorbildern aus Harems, in denen der Hausherr eifersüchtig (jealousy) darüber wachte, dass die Gemächer der Frauen gegenüber der Außenwelt abgeschirmt wurden.

eng: The term Jalousie derives from the imitation of grilles modeled on those found in Oriental harems, where the master of the house jealously guarded the women's quarters to ensure they remained shielded from the outside world.
