161. Filemot

from Butter No Parsnips · host Butter No Parsnips

This week, Kyle and Emily fall into autumn with the warm, withering filemot. From feuille-morte to folium, the journey of this delicate hue reveals a surprising history of paper, pastry, and petals, and flitters freely like a leaf in a fall breeze into much, much more.Our hosts uncover how a French shade once beloved in poetry and fashion made its way into English. They trace the word through Locke’s philosophy and Swift’s satire, with a delightful nod to the filing systems of archivists.From autumn color palettes to forgotten pastry doughs, filemot is a word that whispers its meanings through centuries of transformation. And whether it appears on a painter’s canvas, a head of hair, or a shelf of aging folios, it remains, as ever, somewhere between fading and flourishing.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.Like and follow us on Instagram and Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ButterNoParsnipsPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on YouTube @ButterNoParsnipsFollow us on TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ButterNoParsnips⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/ButterNoParsnips⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or by visiting ⁠www.bnppod.com⁠Produced by⁠ ⁠Seth Gliksman⁠⁠, Kyle Imperatore, and Emily MoyersMain theme and accompanying themes by Kyle Imperatore
