Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution
by Liam Connerly
Latin in Layman’s gives you the ability to understand and command language in a whole new respect. Join a typical grammarian and classicist as I expand your vocabulary, understanding of grammar, Etymology, terminology (i.e. legal, medical, botanical, etc.), and so much more. I also utilize this platform to expand on greater thoughts of mine, as well as discussing the importance of language and the promotion of "The Language Revival" (as I like to call it...) Thank you for your interested in knowledge, language acquisition, the command of one's own language, and the understanding of the world.

PathologyFrom Greek pathos = suffering, feeling, diseaseand logos = study, accountSo pathology literally means the study of suffering/disease.This is a great opener because it shows how medical language often begins not with the body, but with the idea of human suffering.From Greek kardia = heartYou get:cardiac arresttachycardia = fast heartbradycardia = slow heartVery teachable because once people know cardi-, they start seeing it everywhere.From Greek neuron = nerve, sinewUsed in:neuropathyneurologyneurosisA nice example of how one root moves from the physical body into psychology and culture.From Greek arthron = jointplus -itis = inflammationSo arthritis literally means inflammation of the joint.This is one of the most useful medical suffixes to teach:tonsillitisbronchitisdermatitisFrom Greek gaster = stomachplus -itisLiterally inflammation of the stomach.You can connect this to:gastricgastrologygastrointestinalFrom Greek derma = skinplus -itisLiterally inflammation of the skin.This root is highly visible in:epidermisdermatologyhypodermicFrom Greek nephros = kidneyplus -itisLiterally kidney inflammation.Good pair with the Latin root below for kidney, because English often keeps both a Greek and Latin tradition alive.From Greek hepar, hepat- = liverplus -itisLiterally inflammation of the liver.This one is a perfect example of a form that looks strange in English until you know the root.From Greek haima / hem- = bloodand rhēgnynai / -rrhage = to burst forthSo hemorrhage is basically blood bursting out.This is vivid, memorable, and very good for an audience because they can feel the image in the word.From Greek an- = withoutand haima = bloodLiterally without blood or lack of blood.Not perfectly literal in modern physiology, of course, but etymologically very revealing.From Greek kyanos = dark blueplus -osis = conditionLiterally the blue condition.Excellent for showing how medical language often names visible bodily states very directly.From Greek leukos = whiteand haima = bloodLiterally white blood.A striking example of descriptive naming based on what was observed.From Greek paralysis = loosening, disablingfrom para- + lyein = to loosenSo it carries the sense of being loosened apart or disabled.Great for showing that many disease terms began as verbs of bodily action.From Greek dia- = throughand rhein = to flowLiterally flowing through.Extremely memorable and surprisingly elegant once broken down.From Greek dys- = bad, difficultand pepsis = digestionLiterally bad digestion.A useful root pair because dys- appears all over pathology:dysfunctiondyspneadysphagiaFrom Greek dys- = difficultand pnoē = breathLiterally difficult breathing.Very accessible for an audience because the meaning becomes obvious once you crack it open.From Greek dys- = difficultand phagein = to eatLiterally difficulty eating/swallowing.Good chance to explain how roots shift over time into more technical meanings.From Greek nekros = dead body, corpseplus -osis = conditionLiterally the condition of dead tissue.Dark, vivid, and very podcast-friendly.From Greek onkos = mass, burden, tumorplus logos = studyLiterally the study of tumors/masses.This surprises people because the modern word feels so distant from its root.From Greek psyche = soul, mindplus -osis = condition

Reboot: Etymologizing the beauty behind the word "Nostalgia" and words associated with its deeper meaning and feeling
I. Nostalgia:Definition: Nostalgia refers to a sentimental longing or affectionate yearning for the past, often accompanied by a sense of sadness or wistfulness. It's a complex emotional state triggered by memories and experiences from one's earlier life.Etymology: The word "nostalgia" has its roots in Greek. It combines "nostos," meaning "return home," and "algos," meaning "pain" or "ache." It was originally coined in the late 17th century by a Swiss physician named Johannes Hofer to describe a condition observed in Swiss mercenaries who became homesick while stationed abroad. At the time, it was considered a medical disorder related to homesickness.II. Reminisce:Definition: To reminisce is to recall or talk about past experiences, often in a fond or nostalgic manner. It involves the act of remembering and sharing memories.Etymology: "Reminisce" comes from the Latin word "reminiscere," which means "remember" or "think over again." This word emphasizes the act of revisiting past memories.III. Vintage:Definition: Vintage refers to something of high quality or lasting popularity from the past. It is often associated with items or products from a specific era, typically 20 to 100 years old, which have retained their appeal.Etymology: The word "vintage" has its roots in the Latin word "vindemia," which means "grape harvest" or "wine." Over time, it came to be associated with the age and quality of wine, and eventually, it was extended to describe other valuable and old items.IV. Retro:Definition: Retro refers to a style, fashion, or design that imitates or is reminiscent of the past, often with a sense of nostalgia. It involves adopting elements from earlier eras and incorporating them into contemporary contexts.Etymology: "Retro" is a shortened form of "retrospective," which comes from the Latin word "retrospectus," meaning "look back" or "backward view." It reflects the idea of looking back in time and revisiting past styles or trends.V. Memories:Definition: Memories are the recollections of past events, experiences, or information stored in one's mind. They can evoke feelings of nostalgia when revisited.Etymology: The word "memory" comes from the Latin "memoria," which means "faculty of memory" or "remembrance."VI. Antique:Definition: An antique is a collectible or valuable item that is typically over 100 years old. Antiques are often sought after for their historical and nostalgic significance.Etymology: "Antique" is derived from the Latin word "antiquus," meaning "ancient" or "old." It emphasizes the age and historical value of the item.VII. Melancholy:Definition: Melancholy refers to a deep, pensive, and sometimes sorrowful feeling, often associated with nostalgia and a sense of loss.Etymology: The word "melancholy" has its roots in ancient Greek, where "melas" means "black" and "kholē" means "bile." In ancient medicine, it was believed that an imbalance in the body's humors, including black bile, could lead to a melancholic disposition.VIII. Sentimental:Definition: Sentimental describes a strong emotional attachment or affection for something due to personal or nostalgic reasons. It often involves a heightened emotional response.Etymology: "Sentimental" is derived from the French word "sentiment" and the Latin word "sentire," both of which relate to feelings and emotions.IX. Flashback:Definition: A flashback is a sudden and vivid memory or recollection of a past event, often triggered by a sensory experience or association. It can evoke a strong sense of nostalgia.Etymology: "Flashback" combines "flash" and "back," indicating a sudden return or recollection of a past moment. The term originated in the world of literature and film to describe a narrative device where the story temporarily shifts to an earlier time.

Latin Grammar - All about Second Declension Masculine nouns
Where first declension includes mostly feminine nouns with -a- at the end of their base, second declension includes mostly masculine and neuter nouns with -o- at the end of their base. The second declension has different forms from the first declension but the uses of the cases are the same. However, there’s another important distinction between first and second declension: the -o- at the end of the base in second declension is weak and it doesn’t show up as -o- as often as the -a- shows up in first declension.The second-declension -o- can appear as -u-, as in the nominative singular (-us) or the accusative singular (-um) or it can appear as -i- as in the genitive singular and nominative plural (-i) and the dative and ablative plural (-is).Here are the endings for second declension masculine, beginning with the singular. The nominative singular: -us or in some cases -er. We’ll discuss that in a second. The genitive singular: -i Dative: -o Accusative: -um Ablative: -o and an irregular vocative: -ěIn the plural the endings are: -i -orum -is -os -is. The vocative is regular here in the plural. It’s identical to the nominative -i.In forming a second-declension masculine noun, do the same thing you did in first declension. Take a noun that belongs to that declension, remove the -ī genitive singular ending from the genitive singular form to get the base, and then add the endings on.Here’s an example of that process with the word filius meaning “son.” The base is fili-. To that you add the endings: filius, filii, filio, filium, filio -- we’ll talk about the vocative in a second -- filii, filiorum, filiis, filios, filiis.Note the vocative singular of this word: The Romans didn’t like taking a base that ended with -i and putting a short -e after it. That would have produced *filie and that sounded disagreeable to the Romans so they left the -e off the vocative ending if there was an -i- at the end of the base. Thus the vocative of filius is fili.Now let’s address a minor peculiarity involving second declension - I mentioned we’d touch on this later… This is that “later.”. The Romans for some reason did not like to end second-declension masculine nouns with -rus. So, if a base ended in -r, like the base puer- which means “boy,” the Romans, instead of going *puerus in the nominative singular, simply went puer. But you can see from the rest of the forms of this word the real base is puer- because the word declines puer, pueri, puero and so on.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
Latin in Layman’s gives you the ability to understand and command language in a whole new respect. Join a typical grammarian and classicist as I expand your vocabulary, understanding of grammar, Etymology, terminology (i.e. legal, medical, botanical, etc.), and so much more. I also utilize this platform to expand on greater thoughts of mine, as well as discussing the importance of language and the promotion of "The Language Revival" (as I like to call it...) Thank you for your interested in knowledge, language acquisition, the command of one's own language, and the understanding of the world.
HOSTED BY
Liam Connerly
