Verbivore’sDiner #15 Today’s Specials: Roots - Homo Affixes – “E-” or “Ex-” Mythology & History – “Labyrinthine” Adopted Words - raconteur
Root du jour • Homo • “one and the same” • “alike”
Affixes Prix Fixe • Prefix “E-” or “Ex-” • “Out” • Expel • Emit
Mythology & History Main • Labyrinthine • The LABYRINTH was a mythological maze in Crete which held the Minotaur, a beast who was half man, half bull. “Labyrinthine” therefore means anything complicated and full of confusion.
Adopted Word Dessert • Raconteur (French) • Person skilled in telling stories. Witty, amusing.
