51642 bog [[English]] ipa :/bɔɡ/[Anagrams] - gob [Etymology 1] From Middle English bog, from Irish and Scottish Gaelic bogach (“soft, boggy ground”), from Old Irish bog (“soft”),[1] from Proto-Celtic *buggos (“soft, tender”) + Old Irish -ach, from Proto-Celtic *-ākos.The frequent use to form compounds regarding the animals and plants in such areas mimics Irish compositions such as bog-luachair (“bulrush, bogrush”).[1]Its use for toilets is now often derived from the resemblance of latrines and outhouse cesspools to bogholes,[2][3] but the noun sense appears to be a clipped form of boghouse (“outhouse, privy”),[4] which derived (possibly via boggard) from the verb to bog,[5] still used in Australian English.[3] The derivation and its connection to other senses of "bog" remains uncertain, however, owing to an extreme lack of early citations due to its perceived vulgarity.[6][7] [Etymology 2] See bug[8] [Etymology 3] Uncertain,[9] although possibly related to bug in its original senses of "big" and "puffed up". [Etymology 4] From bug off, a clipping of bugger off, likely under the influence of bog (coarse British slang for "toilet[s]"). [Etymology 5] From an abbreviation of Bogdanoff, in reference to Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff. [References] 1.↑ 1.0 1.1 Oxford English Dictionary, 1st ed.

51678 caucus [[English]] ipa :/ˈkɔː.kəs/[Etymology] Unknown. Often claimed to be from an Algonquian language; transcribed words such as cawaassough and caucauasu meaning "counselor, elder, adviser" appear in early texts.[1][2] A popular folk etymology attested in Great Leaders and National Issues of 1896 stated: "In the early part of the eighteenth century a number of caulkers connected with the shipping business in the North End of Boston held a meeting for consultation. That meeting was the germ of the political caucuses which have formed so prominent a feature of our government ever since its organization."[3] American Heritage Dictionary states the term is taken from the Caucus Club of Boston in the 1760s, possibly from Medieval Latin caucus (“drinking vessel”).[4] [Further reading] - caucus on Wikipedia.Wikipedia [Noun] caucus (plural caucuses or caucusses) (US, Canada, Israel, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, archaic in UK, not used in the European Union) 1.A usually preliminary meeting of party members to nominate candidates for public office or delegates to be sent a nominating convention, or to confer regarding policy. 2.1788, William Gordon, The History of the Rise, Progress, and Establishment, of the Independence of the United States of America: He conferred with Mr. Warren of Plymouth upon the necessity of giving into spirited measures, and then said, "Do you keep the committee in play, and I will go and make a caucus against the evening&#x3b; and do you meet me." 3.A grouping of all the members of a legislature from the same party. Synonym: parliamentary group 4.A political interest group by members of a legislative body. [References] 1. ^ Wilson, James (1999). The Earth Shall Weep.
