Fun with word "roots"

And hospital as well.

Murphy is an Irish name with Celtic, non-Greco-Roman roots, so wouldn’t be connected.

However, I’ve always wondered whether the name ‘Murphy’ has any relation to the popular name in India ‘Murthy’ - which presumably is sanskrit in origin.

I undertand that “science”, “shit” and “scissors” all come from the latin root “scindere” which means “to cut”

Wait a minute? “Poppycock” is a snack food?

Behold the deliciousness that is Poppycock!

A fantastic book about this very thing: I Always Look Up the Word Egregious"
