The word cactus is an old one, and it derives from the Greek kaktos. The Greek word, however, referred to a plant living on the island of Sicily, not what we would call a cactus today. The reason the word changed is the Carl Linnaeus, the great Swedish botanist, thought that the New World plant we refer to as cactus today was related to this Italian plant. It turns out he was wrong, but we have today adopted his usage.

In a small side-note, Carl Linnaeus (Latin form of his Swedish name, Carl von Linné) was the inventor of the now standard nomenclature of naming species with two Latin names, naming genus and species. He was the one, for instance, to name our species Homo sapiens, literally "wise man".

So if it is of Greek origin, the plural of cactus would more appropriately be the Greek plural kaktopodes as opposed to the Latin plural cacti.

[–]RandomEtymology 8 points9 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The RandomEtymology novelty account is uncomfortable with offering usage advice. If it were to make an exception, however, it would suggest that you try and stay away from attempts at Latin or Greek plural endings when speaking English. Cactuses is fine.

That etymology isn't random, it's very focused.

[–]totaldonut 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think he's using random in the colloquial sense, meaning "zany" or "wacky".

[–]RandomEtymology 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The word random has ancestors in a number of Germanic languages. In Middle English it was raundon ("at speed", basically meaning "haphazardly"), which came from Old French randon ("rush, disorder"), which came from Frankish rant ("running"), which came from the Proto-Germanic base rinnanan, also meaning "running". The Proto-Indo-European base is ren-, "to rise" or "to sink". The word is thus related to the English word run, something one might not expect.

I hope that clears everything up.

[–]RandomEtymology 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In Old English, no was originally na, and it can be traced to Proto-Germanic ne, and all the way to the Proto-Indo-European root -ne, which is responsible for the fact that no sounds very similar in most European languages.

GAAAAAAH.

[–]RandomEtymology 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

GAAAAAAH written out represents a feeling of frustration, and the word derives from an audible expression humans occasionally make when overcome with that feeling. As such, it is an example of onomatopoeia.

PORNOGRAPHY.

[–]RandomEtymology 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Pornography is composed of porn, which derives from porne (Greek for "prostitute") and graph, an Greek verb meaning "drawing, writing". Using graph is fairly common in the English language, existing in words like geography ("earth" + "drawing") and biography ("life" + "drawing, writing").

FUCK.

[–]RandomEtymology 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The word fuck first appears in written English is in a famous line in the poem "Flen Flyys". The poem is mangled Latin and English, and the line reads: non sunt in coeli, quia fvccant vvivys of heli, literally "They are not in heaven because they fuck the women/wives of Ely". It's the word fvccant, with the "u" replaced by a "v" and inflected as if it had been a Latin verb. It was directed at a group of friars, and thus the line was encoded in a very simple substitution cipher. Undoubtedly it was in use before this, but simply not written down due to the taboo nature of the word.

This taboo has in fact made tracing the word through history very difficult (the editors of the original Oxford English Dictionary, for instance, wouldn't include it), and as such it's origin is uncertain. But a valuable clue can be found in the fact that it has cognates in a variety of other Germanic languages where the word can mean "to strike". The archaic Swedish focka, for instance, or Dutch fokken. In Latin, the word for fist is pugnus (as seen in the English word pugilist), and one might surmise a connection to fuck there. The reason is Grimm's law, a sound-shift discovered by Jacob Grimm (yes, the fairy tale collector). This sound shift predicts (among other things) that Proto-Indo-European voiceless stops becomes voiceless fricatives in Germanic languages.

A "stop" is a consonant that in order to pronounce it, you have to obstruct the flow of air to build up pressure which then is released explosively. Examples include p, d and k. A stop is "voiced" if you are using your vocal chords to pronounce it. A d is voiced, a p is voiceless (in order to see the difference, put your hand on your throat and pronounce the two words pop and dad. You should feel your throat vibrate much more on dad than pop because you are using your vocal chords).

A "fricative" is a consonant where air let through a narrow channel. s, f and v are examples. v is voiced, f is voiceless.

Thus, Grimm's law predicts that Latin words with the voiceless stop p should be replaced with the voiceless fricative f when they arrive in English. And indeed, that is very often the case. Latin pes is English foot. Latin pater is English father. Latin penna is English feather. Note that English did not necessarily inherit these words from Latin, but that the words do share the same etymological roots.

And so too, maybe, with pugnus ("fist"), becoming a Germanic root fuk- meaning to strike, which later morphs into our familiar fuck. But unfortunately, this is only a tentative hypothesis, and due to the taboo nature of the word, the true lineage of this wonderful little obscenity will perhaps never be fully explained.

[–]RedSerpant -2 points-1 points ago

I like the fact that it's actually 'man wise' if you take it from the order of the words.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Latin, however, is not necessarily read in the same order as English.

[–]RedSerpant -3 points-2 points ago

[–]Dodechotomy -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Only if you translate it poorly from latin. Not all languages have the same word order, and in latin (or french) I belive this is correct.

[–]RedSerpant -5 points-4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The order of the words is Homo Sapien, Homo meaning man, Sapien meaning wise, therefore in order it is man wise. Why do I get downvoted for this?

[–]Dodechotomy 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because that order is only strange if you're looking at it from an english-speaking viewpoint. (I didn't downvote you by the way. I think downvotes should be reserved for useless, obnoxious or spammy comments. Yours was none of those.)

[–]derision 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Just because that's the order of our language does not mean that's the order of the Latin language. If you translate it exactly as is then technically you're correct, but that's an incorrect translation.

[–]RedSerpant 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I know it's not how the Latin language is. I have not said it was. I know that from a Latin perspective it is 'wise man'. I was simply pointing out that from an English language perspective it's 'man wise'. And for that I get downvoted.

[–]derision 0 points1 point ago

I just think that's a silly thing to do.

[–]RedSerpant 0 points1 point ago

4chan is like Reddit if we took away the voting system and the butthurt. Someone disagrees with you on 4chan? Tough shit, you call them a fag and the shitstorm ensues.

It's a random picture of an angry guy somebody from 4chan captioned for use as a reaction image. That is all.

Oh. I thought it vaguely looked like Spider-man (I can't remember his real life name right now), so figured it was something Hollywood-ish.

edit Thanks, btw!

Hey man

I never thought I'd see something that I submitted reach the front page with someone else. You see it happen all the time, but you always think, "that won't happen to me," and when it does, it's so alienating. Fuck, man. I'd have more than a thousand link karma, right now, just from this, and I'd finally have gotten something to the front page. Fuck, man.

[–]OttisSwan 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the real question is... what would you do with that karma? Go to the karma store and buy a new, clever username? Or maybe it would just sit there, on your profile, waiting to be seen by the random guy who actually clicks your name and goes... "OMG tHIS GUY Iz LIKE sO COOL! He GOTZ KArma!." Congrats.

[–]7ewis[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thank you :) I'm new to reddit, and it's good to see that there are some nice people like you on here:)

[–]DarqWolff -1 points0 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't blame you, if you didn't know it was a repost. I'm not angry at you for posting the thing that I'd already posted, I'm angry at the rest of the community for being so inconsistent that they upvoted it this time and not last time.

But I am mad at you for saying "nice people like you" to that guy. How can you not see that he's being a dick?

[–]7ewis[S] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ok sorry :/ I didn't realize karma was so hard to come by, I have only made 2 posts, one got ~50 and this one ~500, I didn't know it was hard to get to the front page and people like you try for ages to get there, I can see how it would be annoying for you when I repost something and get to the front page when you already posted it and got nothing from it. I only said it because he was sticking up for me. Tbh im still not entirely sure on how 'Reddits' work and about /r/, guess I was just lucky

[–]DarqWolff -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'd be happy with it. What, there's nothing you have in the world that's totally arbitrary and still makes you happy? I happen to like karma. I value the Reddit community more than my karma, so I don't really karma whore. Still, I enjoy having it. Just like I'd enjoy having something hit the front page. And it's not even completely arbitrary; it gives you an idea of how many people have appreciated something you've done or said, moreso with original content than image macros like this, but still.

Go to the karma store and buy a new, clever username?

Why? I don't need a clever username, I need one that's never taken. I've yet to sign up for a website with this username and have it be taken.

Seriously, you're such an asshole, what's the point of attacking someone for their username? It wasn't related to your point, which could have been presented much more eloquently. You could have said something that actually made sense. In fact, in the past ten seconds, I've thought of at least three arguments that probably would have convinced me that I was wrong in being angry here had you used them. But instead, you just said "Karma doesn't matter and by the way your username sucks."

Not only is this a stupid regurgitation from 4chan, it's also not the least bit funny or clever.

I found it on Google+, I can't find the user who posted it though sorry. I'm new to reddit and never look through 4chan or any other image board sites, I have never seen this pic before, so I thought I would post it, Sorry if it's a repost, or you think I'm a 'karma whore'.

[–]doolahan 0 points1 point ago

I don't care much about the whole karma whoring business, I'm just shocked to see someone I know on the internet. In the name of reddit, and the great net of tubes, I pronounce this post APPROVED!
