49382 vandal [[English]] ipa :/ˈvændəl/[Etymology] edit1660s, “willful destroyer of what is beautiful or venerable”,[1] from Vandal, referring to a member of an ancient Germanic people, the Vandals, who are associated with senseless destruction as a result of their sack of Rome under King Genseric in 455. During the Enlightenment, Rome was idealized, while the Goths and Vandals were blamed for its destruction. The Vandals may not have been any more destructive than other invaders of ancient times, but they did inspire English poet John Dryden to write, Till Goths, and Vandals, a rude Northern race, Did all the matchless Monuments deface (1694).[2] However, the Vandals did intentionally damage statues, which may be why their name is associated with the vandalism of art. The coining of French Vandalisme by Henri Grégoire in 1794 to describe the destruction of artwork following the French Revolution popularized the idea further, and the term was quickly adopted across Europe, including as English vandalism. [Noun] editvandal (plural vandals) 1.A person who needlessly destroys, defaces, or damages other people's property. 2.(Should we delete(+) this sense?) (computing) A person who needlessly destroys, defaces, or damages software. The anonymous vandal was blocked after going on a vandalism spree.

49402 fret [[English]] ipa :/fɹɛt/[Anagrams] edit - TERF, reft, terf, tref [Etymology 1] editFrom Middle English frēten (“to eat (at), corrode, destroy, annoy”), from Old English fretan (“to eat up, devour; to fret; to break, burst”),[1] from Proto-West Germanic *fraetan, from Proto-Germanic *fraetaną (“to consume, devour, eat up”), from Proto-Germanic *fra- (“for-, prefix meaning ‘completely, fully’”) (from Proto-Indo-European *pro- (“forward, toward”)) + *etaną (“to eat”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ed- (“to eat”)).The word is cognate with Dutch vreten, fretten (“to devour, hog, wolf”), Low German freten (“to eat up”), German fressen (“to devour, gobble up, guzzle”), Gothic 𐍆𐍂𐌰𐌹𐍄𐌰𐌽 (fraitan, “to devour”), Swedish fräta (“to eat away, corrode, fret”); and also related to Danish fråse (“to gorge”).The senses meaning “to chafe, rub” could also be due to sound-association with Anglo-Norman *freiter (modern dialectal French fretter), from Vulgar Latin *frictāre, frequentative of Latin fricāre, from fricō (“to chafe, rub”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreyH- (“to cut”); compare Old French froter (modern French frotter). The chief difficulty is the lack of evidence of the Old French word.[2] [Etymology 2] editThe armorial bearings of the Audley family of Much Marcle, Herefordshire, England, UK, emblazoned “gules a fret or” – a red field with a gold fret (noun sense 2)From Middle English frēten (“to decorate”), from Old French freté,[3] freter, fretter (“to fret (decorate with an interlacing pattern)”), from Old French fret (from fraindre (“to break”), from Latin frangō (“to break, shatter”), from Proto-Italic *frangō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreg- (“to break”)) + Old French -er (“suffix forming verbs”) (from Latin -āre, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₃enh₂- (“to burden, charge”)). [Etymology 3] editThe frets of a guitar (sense 2) are the narrow pieces laid across the guitar’s neck at right angles to the stringsFrom Middle English freten (“to bind”), from Old French freter, from frete (“ferrule, ring”) (modern French frette). The origin of the music senses are uncertain; they are possibly from frete or from fret (“to chafe, rub”).[4] [Etymology 4] editFrom Latin fretum (“channel, strait”). [Etymology 5] editFrom Old French frete, fraite, fraicte, possibly partly confused with fret (“channel, strait”).[5] [Etymology 6] editAttested since the mid-1800s, of unknown origin.[6] Perhaps related to fret (“to form a pattern upon”),[7] fret (“to consume”) (as the fog does the land), or fret (“to agitate the surface of water”) (as the wind which blows the fog inland does); compare the semantics of haar (“cold wind; misty wind; fog, mist”).
