Emily and Kyle go on a quest through a rich etymology and a myriad of meanings, and battle the linguistic dragon that is the word swinge.
No, not swing. Not singe. Swinge. Emily and Kyle delve into exactly what separates all these similar words--and the facets of linguistics that connect them, like etymological doublets and shifts in pronunciation.
Our hosts take a liking to “swinge” as an epic fantasy word. A word to wield a sword to. A word to smite dragons with. A word which Shakespeare used for the duel of St. George, and Milton used for the fury of Satan!
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.
