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.

51687 fast [[English]] ipa :/fɑːst/[Anagrams] - AT&#x26;SF, ATFs, ATSF, FTAs, SAFT, TAFs, afts, fats, tafs [Etymology 1] From Middle English fast, fest, from Old English fæst (“firm, secure”), from Proto-West Germanic &#x2a;fast, from Proto-Germanic &#x2a;fastuz; see it for cognates and further etymology.The development of “rapid” from an original sense of “secure” apparently happened first in the adverb and then transferred to the adjective; compare hard in expressions like “to run hard”. The original sense of “secure, firm” is now slightly archaic, but retained in the related fasten (“make secure”). Also compare close meaning change from Latin rapiō (“to snatch”) to Latin rapidus (“rapid, quick”), from Irish sciob (“to snatch”) to Irish sciobtha (“quick”). [Etymology 2] From Middle English fasten, from Old English fæstan (verb), Old English fæsten (noun) fromProto-Germanic &#x2a;fastāną (“fast”), from the same root as Proto-Germanic &#x2a;fastijaną (“fasten”), derived from &#x2a;fastuz, and thereby related to Etymology 1.The religious sense is presumably introduced in the Gothic church, from Gothic 𐍆𐌰𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌽 (fastan, “hold fast (viz. to the rule of abstinence)”). This semantic development is unique to Gothic, the term glosses Greek νηστεύω (nēsteúō), Latin ieiuno which do not have similar connotations of "holding fast".The feminine noun Old High German fasta likely existed in the 8th century (shift to neuter Old High German fasten from the 9th century, whence modern German Fasten).The Old English noun originally had the sense "fortress, enclosure" and takes the religious sense only in late Old English, perhaps influenced by Old Norse fasta.The use for reduced nutrition intake for medical reasons or for weight reduction develops by the mid-1970s, back-formed from the use of the verbal noun fasting in this sense (1960s).
