Word of Random

ramp

ramp: [18] A ramp is etymologically something you ‘climb’ up. The word was borrowed from French rampe, a derivative of the verb ramper ‘climb’, hence ‘slope’. This goes back to a Frankish *rampōn, and was borrowed into English in the 13th century as ramp. It now survives mainly in the form of its present participle, rampant [14], which preserves the sense ‘rearing up’. Rampage [18] may be a derivative.

pandit：梵学家；博学家

英国东印度公司那些不懂梵语的法官们不能完全相信那些为他们翻译解释梵语律法的pandit，于是精通希腊拉丁波斯语的法官威廉琼斯爵士到印度后研习梵语，提出了上述古典语言同源的观点。后来英语里亦出现了pundit ['pʌndɪt]这个写法，指（任何领域内）有学问的人。
