Latin Lesson
Details in an etymology linked to here Monday, June 3,
in a post titled The Deep End —
"… mid-15c., from Middle French pensée … from
fem. past participle of penser 'to think,' from
Latin pensare 'consider'…."
A remembrance of the late, great, Esther Williams,
who died early today:
After marrying Lamas, she retired from public life.
Williams explained in a 1984 interview, "A really terrific guy
comes along and says, 'I wish you'd stay home and be
my wife,' and that's the most logical thing in the world for a Latin.
And I loved being a Latin wife — you get treated very well.
There's a lot of attention in return for that sacrifice."
