Word of Random
- pansy
- pansy: [15] French pensée means literally ‘thought’, and it was presumably the pensive look of these flowers of the viola family that earned them the name. English originally took it over as pensee, but later anglicized it to pansy. The use of the word for an effeminate male homosexual dates from the 1920s. French pensée itself is the feminine past participle of penser ‘think’ (source also of English pensive [14]). This was descended from Latin pēnsāre ‘weigh’, which in post-classical times was used for ‘think’.
