Burials
is always a great word to know.
So is doohickey. Does it mean:
| a gadget; dingus; thingumbob. |
| a printed punctuation mark (‽), available only in some typefaces, designed to combine the question mark (?) and the exclamation point (!), indicating a mixture of query and interjection, as after a rhetorical question. |
Etymonline
Word Origin & History
burial
"act of burying," late 13c.; earlier "tomb" (c.1200), false singular from O.E. byrgels "tomb," from byrgan "to bury" + suffix -els; a compound also found in O.S. burgisli, suggesting a P.Gmc. *burgisli-, from PIE *bhergh- "to hide, protect" (see bury). The Germanic suffix *-isli-
EXPAND(cf. O.E. hydels "hiding place," fætels "bag") became obsolete and was felt as a plural of the Latin-derived suffix -al forming nouns of action from verbs (survival, approval, etc.).
