ipa :/kɑːst/[Anagrams]
edit
- Cates, Stace, cates, scate, sceat, taces
[Etymology]
editBorrowed from Portuguese or Spanish casta (“lineage, breed, race”), of uncertain origin. The OED derives it from Portuguese casto (“chaste”), from Latin castus.Coromines (1987) argues instead for a hypothetical Gothic form *𐌺𐌰𐍃𐍄𐍃 (*kasts), cognate with English cast, from Proto-Germanic *kastuz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ǵ-es-.
[Noun]
editcaste (plural castes)
1.Any of the hereditary social classes and subclasses of South Asian societies.
2.2017 April 6, Samira Shackle, “On the frontline with Karachi’s ambulance drivers”, in the Guardian[1]:
Pakistan is a conservative, religious state. The Edhi Foundation is unusual in its ignoring of caste, creed, religion and sect. This strict stance has led to some criticism from religious groups.
Hyponyms: Brahmin, Kshatriya, Shudra, Vaishya, varna
3.A separate and fixed order or class of persons in society who chiefly associate with each other.
4.1930, Norman Lindsay, Redheap, Sydney, N.S.W.: Ure Smith, published 1965, →OCLC, page 89:
It was an evidence of the peculiar nature of caste in country towns[.]
5.1934, Agatha Christie, chapter 5, in Murder on the Orient Express, London: HarperCollins, published 2017, page 236:
'I believe, Messieurs, in loyalty - to one's friends and one's family and one's caste.'
6.1911, Thomas Babington Macaulay, “Bunyan, John”, in 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica:
The tinkers then formed a hereditary caste.
7.(zoology) A class of polymorphous eusocial insects of a particular size and function within a colony.

[Etymology]
editFrom Proto-Albanian *(h)eríja- 'of this time, from this time, presently, of now > new, recent', a derivative of Alb. herë '(one) time, hour' etc., which is an old loan-word from Latin hōra 'time, hour' etc.; the Albanian substantive is historically not compatible with a reconstruction Proto-Indo-European *h₁r̥wo-, zero-grade of *h₁orwo- (compare Old English earu (“quick”), Tocharian B ārwer (“ready”), Avestan aruuant- (“quick, brave”)), as it has been proposed in the literature. According to R. Matasovic (A grammatical sketch of Albanian for students of Indo-European. Zadar 2018), the etymology of the adjective is controversial and has no accepted source or from substrate.

Synonyms: phony; see also Thesaurus:fake
2.1842, Daniel Parish Kidder, Mormonism and the Mormons: A Historical View of the Rise and Progress of the Sect Self-styled Latter-Day Saints, Carlton & Lanahan:
[…] that he and David Whitmer swore falsley, stole, cheated, lied, sold bogus money, (base coin,), and also stones and sand for bogus; that letters in the post-office had been opened, read, and destroyed; and that those same men were concerned with a gang of counterfeiters, coiners, and blacklegs.
3.1895, Alphonso Alva Hopkins, Wealth and Waste: The Principles of Political Economy in Their Application to the Present Problems of Labor, Law, and the Liquor Traffic, Funk & Wagnalls Company:
They have printed bogus despatches, and unhesitatingly used what they knew was bogus matter in a way to mislead even newspaper men.
4.1921, Burton J. Hendrick, The Age of Big Business:
The organization of “bogus companies,” started purely for the purpose of eliminating competitors, seems to have been a not infrequent practice.
5.(slang) Undesirable or harmful.
6.1982, Cameron Crowe, Fast Times at Ridgemont High[1], spoken by Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn):

10.Based on false or misleading information or unjustified assumptions.
bogus laws
[Etymology]
editFirst attested as an underworld term for an apparatus for creating counterfeit coins, then the coins themselves. Later, the word was applied to anything of poor quality. The newest use to mean useless is probably from the slang of computer hackers.The origin is unknown, but there are at least two theories that try to trace its origin:
- From Hausa boko (“to fake”). Since bogus first appeared in the United States, it may be possible that its ancestor was brought there on a slave ship.
- From criminal slang as a short form of tantrabogus, a 19th-century slang term for a menacing object, making some believe that bogus might be linked to bogy or bogey (see bogeyman). In this sense, Bogus might be related to Bogle – a traditional trickster from the Scottish Borders, noted for achieving acts of household trickery; confusing, but not usually damaging.
[Noun]
editbogus (uncountable)
1.(US, dialect) A liquor made of rum and molasses.
2.1848, John Russell Bartlett, Dictionary of Americanisms: A glossary of words and phrases, usually regarded as peculiar to the United States:

3.1919, Harvey Washington Wiley, Beverages and Their Adulteration: Origin, Composition, Manufacture, Natural, Artificial, Fermented, Distilled, Alkaloidal and Fruit Juices:
"Calibogus," or "bogus" was cold rum and beer unsweetened.
4.2014, J. Anne Funderburg, Bootleggers and Beer Barons of the Prohibition Era, page 311:
The American colonists drank rum straight, spiced, or mixed. They combined it with a list of ingredients: rum mixed with hard cider was called stonewall; rum and beer made bogus; rum and molasses made blackstrap.

The history of taifū and taifūn is as interesting and intricate as Portuguese tufão and English typhoon, which underlies Japanese taifūn.

[[Japanese]]
ipa :[ta̠be̞ɾɯ̟ᵝ][Etymology]
editFrom earlier Old Japanese form 食ぶ (tabu, “to (humbly) receive or get”, from a superior), a verb with the 下二段 (shimo nidan) or lower bigrade conjugation pattern. This was the humble form of 賜ぶ, 給ぶ (tabu, “to (deign to) give”, to an inferior), a verb with the full 四段 (yodan) or quadrigrade conjugation pattern.[1][2]DevelopmentNatural progression from Old and Classical Japanese 下二段活用 (shimo nidan katsuyō, “lower bigrade conjugation”) verbs ending in -u to modern Japanese 下一段活用 (shimo ichidan katsuyō, “lower monograde conjugation”) verbs ending in -eru.Most likely cognate with 給う (tamau, “to give”, as a superior gives a thing to, or does something for, an inferior).Compare the historical development of meaning from “to humbly receive” → “to eat”, with the modern use of the humble verb 頂く (itadaku, “to receive”) just before eating, in a sense of “I humbly receive this food.”

[[French]]
ipa :/ʁɔɡ/[Etymology 1]
editAttested since the 18th century. From Middle French *rogue, of Germanic origin, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *hrugną (“spawn, roe”), itself possibly from Proto-Indo-European *krek- (“spawn, frogspawn”). The immediate source is either Dutch roge or Old Norse hrogn. The late attestation speaks for Dutch origin. However, the Trésor de la langue française says the word is especially Norman, which makes Old Norse origin plausible. Cognate with English roe, which see.
[Etymology 2]
editInherited from Middle French rogue, from Old French rogre (“haughty; aggressive; exhilarated”), from Old Norse hrokr (“excess; insolence”), for which see Icelandic hroki (“arrogance”). Cognate with Icelandic hrokur (“arrogance”).

, Book IV, Chapter X
God […] has stamped no original characters on our minds wherein we may read his being.
12.2011 September 18, Ben Dirs, “Rugby World Cup 2011: England 41-10 Georgia”, in BBC Sport[2]:
England's superior conditioning began to show in the final quarter and as the game began to break up, their three-quarters began to stamp their authority on the game.

- crenula, lucarne, unclear
[Etymology]
editFrom Latin nū̆cleus, a contraction of the adjective nuculeus, masculine of feminine nuculea (“pertaining to a small nut”) from nucula + adjectival suffix -eus, -ea, -eum. The Latin nucula + -āris adds up to nuculāris, a term that in English becomes nucular; the Latin nuculea + -āris, becomes Latin nuculeāris (“relative to what pertains to small nut”), later contracted into nuclear (English surface analysis, nucle(us) + -ar = nucle- + -ar). Compare muscle and Latin mūsculus; muscular and mūsculāris.
