Kyle and Emily wax nostalgic, poetic, and wode over a deceptively familiar word, looking through Middle English and modern fantasy for the history of the word wroth.
This word bears striking similarity to wrath, and at least a dozen other words. Kyle unpacks the etymological reasons why. He might’ve been a little angry at having to parse through so much Proto-Germanic, but Emily delights at the many wacky words he unveils in the process!
Our hosts also delve through literature both old and new, looking for appearances of this angry and evil word, under its many different definitions. They look at quotes as old as the King James Bible and tales of King Arthur, but also as recent as the Lord of the Rings and the Game of Thrones books.
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.
