Take a load off and put your cares aside, because today Kyle and Emily are talking about the meaning and origin of the word cark.
Our hosts dig into some etymology and talk about cark’s roots in French, Latin, and more. They talk about the many meanings and pronunciations this little word has traveled through, varying from physical weight or labor to mental stress or worry.
They also talk about the many modern words cark is related to, like car and charge and cargo. Kyle introduces us to some (apparently) oft-used phrases like “cark and care” and “toil and moil.” But Emily takes particular joy in cark’s modern usage in Australian slang.
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.
