Get ready for a sinfully good episode that is sure to get you out of a bad mood, because Kyle and Emily are discussing the meaning and origin of the word peccant.
They talk about this word’s first appearances in texts from Ancient Greece. They explore its meanings from wicked to corrupt to unhealthy, as well as its connection to another modern word. But the bulk of our hosts’ conversation this week is about humor.
Why are the four humors called humors? How much did Aristotle understand the diseases of the human body? Does your blood affect whether you’re in a good mood or feeling melancholy? And could everybody benefit from a little menstruation? All will be answered!
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
