Random Discovery
Added 2018-03-20 08:20:59 +0000 UTCSo I was looking if "armlet" (like anklet but on your arm) is a real English word, but then I remembered there is a term "bracelet". Then I started thinking whether bracelet and verb brace (yourself for something) have something in common. They do! They originate from Greek (through Latin and French) word for an arm!
Only other two words with "bra" part I recalled were bra and Brachiosaurus (which show my very limited interests). Brachiosaurus was really named because he has unusually huge arms for a sauropod. French “brassiere” was originally soldier’s arm guard, then the word became used for any kind of upper-body harness with arm straps and eventually became just a word for an undershirt. Only in the early 20th century it was picked by American marketers for a new type of underwear. (Also there is a hoax that the true inventor of bra is Otto Titzling. )
I am not sure what is my point. Maybe that in v0.6.2 will be armlets and questions about dinosaurs. Or that the development takes so long because I am easily distracted.
