Emily takes Kyle from the ocean to the sky this week with the seafaring (and spacefaring) word dunsel.
With three potential etymologies, the duo takes a brief stay in a Dutch origin before expanding ever outward to those glorious and historical ships of yore, paintings of which have left viewers with eternal questions such as, “What do all those sails even do?” Which lead to completely indecipherable answers like “main’sle” and “top’sle” and “foc’s’le”, and more still.
Ever upward, Emily takes to the stars with a surprisingly science fiction origin. We get television writing, we get Ray Bradbury, heck, we even get Emily doing one of the best known Spock impressions ever done in the history of podcasting. From nautical to Nemoy, this word is an enormously adventurous one for how it’s defined
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.
