Career launcher celebrates its own WORDS ORIGIN Week.
Mere mugging of words cannot guarantee retention, instead if we associate words with origins (interesting ones of course, in the form of stories) words get notched in our brains quickly and we tend to remember them better.
Few words with interesting origins
Bedlam: Mayhem/ a scene of wild uproar and confusion
Origin: A popular name for the hospital of St. Mary of Bethlehem in London, which served as a lunatic asylum.
Adonis (n): A very handsome young name.
Origin: A young man slain by a wild boar but permitted by Zeus to pass 4 months every year in the lower world with PERSEPHONE in the winters and summers with APHRODITE(Goddess of Love).(LUCKY GUY)
Keep watching this space for more words with more interesting origins.
