The abbreviation of "videlicet" is "viz," and people often wonder how the "z" got there. There is no "z" in the word's Latin roots, "videre" ("to see") and "licet" ("it is permitted"). As it turns out, the "z" in "viz" originally wasn't a "z" at all. It was a symbol that looked like a "z" and that was used in medieval manuscripts to indicate the contraction of Latin words ending in "-et." When the symbol was carried into English, it was converted into the more familiar "z."

 

Videlicit! Videlicit! Videlicit!

There, that is likely the last time I ever use that one.

 

in australia and England they call the letter "z", "zed". So its x y zed...kinda strange

At first glance, you might think "scapegrace" has something in common with "scapegoat," our word for a person who takes the blame for someone else’s mistake or calamity. Indeed, the words do share a common source — the verb "scape," a variant of "escape" that was once far more common than it is today. "Scapegrace," which first appeared in English in the mid-18th century (over 200 years after "scapegoat"), arrived at its meaning through its literal interpretation as "one who has escaped the grace of God." (Two now-obsolete words based on a similar notion are "scape-thrift," meaning "spendthrift," and "want-grace," a synonym of "scapegrace.") In ornithological circles, "scapegrace" can also refer to a loon with a red throat, but this sense is rare.

 

as soon as i read the deffinition i knew i was going to be the scapegrace in the example sentence.....and sure enough.

The origins of "yokel" are uncertain, but it might have come from the dialectal English word "yokel," meaning "green woodpecker." Other words for supposedly naive country folk are "chawbacon" (from "chaw," meaning "chew," and "bacon"), "hayseed" (which has obvious connections to country life), and "clodhopper" (indicating a clumsy, heavy-footed rustic). But city slickers don't always have the last word: rural folk have had their share of labels for city-dwellers too. One simple example from current use is the often disparaging use of the adjective "citified." A more colorful (albeit historical) example is "cockney," which literally means "****'s egg," or more broadly "misshapen egg." In the past, this word often designated a spoiled or foppish townsman — as opposed to the sturdy countryman, that is.

Today's word is not the only "frieze" in English. The other "frieze" refers to a kind of heavy wool fabric. Both of the "frieze" homographs derive from French, but each entered that language through a different channel. The woolen homograph is from the Middle Dutch word "vriese," which also refers to coarse wool. The "frieze" that we are featuring as our word today is from the Latin word "frisium," meaning "embroidered cloth." That word evolved from "phrygium" and "Phrygia," the name of an ancient country of Asia Minor whose people excelled in metalwork, wood carving, and (unsurprisingly) embroidery. That embroidery lineage influenced the use of "frieze" for the middle division of an entablature, which commonly has a decorated surface resembling embroidered cloth.

 

you didnt know that? i thought that everyone knew about the entablature between the architrace and the cornice....haha thems some big words.

 

Tomorrows word will be "Entablature", and after that we will learn about "Architrave".

 

It's obvious Lady Bird didn't know beans about architecture, because a frieze has nothing to do with an elm or any other tree.

It's building or furniture related.

Gertrude Vanderbilt was very impressed with the frieze on her new Chaise Lounge as it mimiced the frieze just below the cornices on her French Second Empire mansion.

 

See definition bullet #3

 

i think that Bill is right on this one.....sorry Bill but you are wrong, Bill is right.

 

I did read #3. Even manicured trees would have a tough time mimicing a frieze.

I could comment further about peeps knowledge of architecture, but I don't wanna make out anyone to be a scapegrace, scapegoat, yokel, or clodhopper.

I wonder how many of y'all can tell the difference between: Beaux Arts, Bau Haus, Art Deco, Eastlake, Queen Anne, Regency, Arts & Crafts, Gothic, Streamline Moderne, or any other style of architecture?
