The dispatches […] also exposed the blatant discrepancy between the west's professed values and actual foreign policies. Having lectured the Arab world about democracy for years, its collusion in suppressing freedom was undeniable as protesters were met by weaponry and tear gas made in the west, employed by a military trained by westerners.

ipa :/bɜːθ/[Alternative forms]
edit
- birth, byrth (obsolete)
[Antonyms]
editto bring into a berth

[Etymology]
editOrigin obscure. Possibly from Middle English *berth (“bearing, carriage”), equivalent to bear + -th.

Compare Old English ġebǣru (“bearing, conduct, behaviour”).
[Noun]
editberth (plural berths)
1.A fixed bunk for sleeping (in caravans, trains, etc).
2.1909, Mary Roberts Rinehart, “Chapter 2”, in The Man in Lower Ten:
Some passengers boarded the train there and I heard a woman's low tones, a southern voice, rich and full. Then quiet again. Every nerve was tense: time passed, perhaps ten minutes, possibly half an hour. Then, without the slightest warning, as the train rounded a curve, a heavy body was thrown into my berth.
3.1944 November and December, “"Duplex Roomette" Sleeping Cars”, in Railway Magazine, page 324:
It is realised that the old Pullman standard sleeper, with its convertible "sections", each containing upper and lower berths, and with no greater privacy at night than the curtains drawn along both sides of a middle aisle, has had its day.
4.Room for maneuvering or safety. (Often used in the phrase a wide berth.)
5.1913, Edgar Rice Burroughs, “Chapter 3”, in The Return of Tarzan:
Tarzan had been wont to traverse the Rue Maule on his way home at night. Because it was very quiet and very dark it reminded him more of his beloved African jungle than did the noisy and garish streets surrounding it. If you are familiar with your Paris you will recall the narrow, forbidding precincts of the Rue Maule. If you are not, you need but ask the police about it to learn that in all Paris there is no street to which you should give a wider berth after dark.
6.A space for a ship to moor or a vehicle to park.
7.(nautical) A room in which a number of the officers or ship's company mess and reside.
8.1885, Alice MacDonald Kipling, Quartette, The Haunted Cabin:

1.A surname transferred from the nickname derived from the name of the animal.

- The sense “bottle” from Latin ampulla (cf. German Pulle), or from contraction of dated Buddel, from French bouteille, or from a merger of these.
- The sense “ball” probably from French boule, from Latin bulla. However, the Luxemburger Wörterbuch seems to imply that it was originally used especially of glass balls, hence perhaps in part from loose use of the above.
- In both senses, influence by the word Boll (“bowl”), from Proto-Germanic *bullǭ, is also possible.

farm
[[English]]
ipa :/fɑːɹm/[Anagrams]
edit
- AFRM
[Etymology 1]
editFrom Middle English ferme, farme (“rent, revenue, produce, factor, stewardship, meal, feast”), influenced by Anglo-Norman ferme (“rent, lease, farm”), from Medieval Latin ferma, firma. Both from Old English feorm, fearm, farm (“provision, food, supplies, provisions supplied by a tenant or vassal to his lord, rent, possessions, stores, feast, entertainment, haven”), from Proto-Germanic *fermō (“means of living, subsistence”), from Proto-Germanic *ferhwō, *ferhuz (“life force, body, being”), from Proto-Indo-European *perkʷ- (“life, force, strength, tree”).Cognate with Scots ferm (“rent, farm”). Related also to Old English feorh (“life, spirit”), Old High German ferah (“life, body, being”), Icelandic fjör (“life, vitality, vigour, animation”), Gothic 𐍆𐌰𐌹𐍂𐍈𐌿𐍃 (fairƕus, “the world”). Compare also Old English feormehām (“farm”), feormere (“purveyor, grocer”).Old English feorm is the origin of Medieval Latin ferma, firma (“farm", also "feast”) (whence also Old French ferme, Occitan ferma), instead of the historically assumed derivation from unrelated Latin firma (“firm, solid”), which shares the same form. The sense of "rent, fixed payment", which was already present in the Old English word, may have been further strengthened due to resemblance to Latin firmitas (“security, surety”). Additionally, Old French ferme continued to shape the development of the English word throughout the Middle English period.[1][2][3]
[Etymology 2]
editFrom Middle English fermen, from Anglo-Norman fermer (“to let out for a fixed payment, lease, rent”) ultimately from the same Old English source as Etymology 1. Compare Old English feormian (“to feed, supply with food, sustain”).
[Etymology 3]
editFrom Middle English fermen, from Old English feormian (“to clean, cleanse”), from Proto-West Germanic *furbēn (“to clean, polish, buff”). Doublet of furbish.
