erosion
[[English]]
ipa :əˈɹoʊˌʒən[Etymology]
editFrom Middle French erosion, from Latin erosio (“eating away”), derived from ērōdō.The first known occurrence in English was in the 1541 translation by Robert Copland of Guy de Chauliac's medical text The Questyonary of Cyrurygens. Copland used erosion to describe how ulcers developed in the mouth. By 1774 'erosion' was used outside medical subjects. Oliver Goldsmith employed the term in the more contemporary geological context, in his book Natural History, with the quote
"Bounds are thus put to the erosion of the earth by water."

4.(uncountable, figuratively) The gradual loss of something as a result of an ongoing process.

jockey
[[English]]
ipa :/ˈdʒɒki/[Etymology]
edit
1.The word is by origin a diminutive of "jock", the Northern English or Scots colloquial equivalent of the first name "John," which is also used generically for "boy, or fellow" (compare "Jack", "Dick"), at least since 1529. A familiar instance of the use of the word as a name is in "Jockey of Norfolk" in Shakespeare's Richard III. v. 3, 304. In the 16th and 17th centuries the word was applied to horse-dealers, postilions, itinerant minstrels and vagabonds, and thus frequently bore the meaning of a cunning trickster, a "sharp", whence the verb to jockey, "to outwit", or "to do" a person out of something. The current usage which means a person who rides a horse in races was first seen in 1670.[1] Another possible origin is the Gaelic word eachaidhe, a "horseman", (pronounced YACH-ee-yuh in late medieval times, with the ch pronounced as in German).[2] The Irish name "Eochaid" (YO-ked) is related to "each" (yek), horse, and is usually translated as "horse rider". This is phonetically very similar to "jockey". More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jockey#Etymology
2.One who rides racehorses competitively.
3.That part of a variable resistor or potentiometer that rides over the resistance wire
4.An operator of some machinery or apparatus.
5.(dated) A dealer in horses; a horse trader.
(Can we find and add a quotation of Macaulay to this entry?)
6.(dated) A cheat; one given to sharp practice in trade.
7.(Britain, crime, slang) A prostitute's client.
8.(Ireland, crime, slang) A rapist.
