Famous quotes with Derivations

  • Etymology, n.: Some early etymological scholars come up with derivations that were hard for the public to believe. The term "etymology" was formed from the Latin "etus" ("eaten"), the root "mal" ("bad"), and "logy" ("study of"). It meant "the study of things that are hard to swallow."
    Mike Kellen
  • Hume noted for all time that Berkeley's arguments did not admit the slightest refutation nor did they cause the slightest conviction.Their language and the derivations of their language — religion, letters, metaphysics — all presuppose idealism.

    Jorge Luis Borges
  • English is an outrageous tangle of those derivations and other multifarious linguistic influences, from Yiddish to Shoshone, which has grown up around a gnarly core of chewy, clangorous yawps derived from ancestors who painted themselves blue to frighten their enemies.
