Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution

Spondylolisthesis -  defined by a slipped vertebra spondylos "a vertebra," and in plural "the backbone," From the gk: “olisthánein" = to slip Spondylosis - involves the separation of the pars interarticularis “Osis” - breakdown of Athero + scler + osis "Athero" = groats "Scler" = hardening "Osis" = diseased condition of "Arterio" + "scler" + "osis" "Arterio" = windpipe "Scler" = hardening "Os...

There are five essential grammatical terms that are used in reference to verbs. They are Mood tense Voice Person Number. You should become familiar with these terms as soon as you can. The mood of the verb indicates how the speaker feels about the action. Does the speaker feel that what’s being said is a fact, a command, or is there something uncertain about it in the speaker’s mind? Mood can also...

Stick with me as I get into a bunch of words that I decided to write down the other day! From narcosis to exculpate to dogma to orthodox, learn the value of pulling apart words to first understand them from the ground up! Creating a foundation from which you build from is essential in the acquisition of knowledge and language! 

Here, I dive into modern derivatives of the Greek root, "zoon" and the Latin root word, "scio"

Latin Prefixes *Hook Word (mnemonic for memorization) A-, Ab-; away from Absent ( word hook ) Ad-; to, towards addition Ambi- (Ambo-, amb-, am-, an-); around, on both sides ambivalent Ante-; before, forward antebellum Antero-, anterior; before, front or forward part ( Anterior) (see: antero-) Bi- (bis-, bin-); twice Bicycle Circum-; around circumference Contra- (Counter- often before vowels); agai...

I begin this lesson with a huge tangent on the Rhetoric Revolution and pushing for help in disseminating the information. Like I always say, it's not about being smart, it's about proving to yourself you can do it to eventually build the confidence that turns into innate knowledge. The words I am going over today are "Geo" and "Terra"

Suffixes -ectomy surgical removal of ("act of cutting out") vasectomy -tomy surgical operation on, surgical cutting of lobotomy -path one who suffers from a disease of, one who treats a disease psychopath -pathy disease of, treatment of disease of or by otopathy -mania madness about, passion for pyromania -maniac one having a madness or passion for nymphomaniac -phobia abnormal fear or hatred of a...

This episode I first dive into "dia-" in Greek and all the counterparts associated. Then, I pit the Greek prefix to its Latin counterpart, "trans-," which is both a preposition (carrying across a direct action) and prefix. Stick with me to learn more! Review me on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere else you might catch me!

I go into derivatives and cognates associated with Greek's "hydros" and Latin's "aqua"

Here, I take a different approach and talk about root words, in both Latin and Greek, and dive into the many English derivatives we derive from said root words. Lots of great info to take away from this episode! Language is the basis from all types of knowledge acquisition. Spread the love of words and a command of language! I'm looking to create a language revolution!

I go into several different topics, firstly talking about etymologizing examples and tying said examples to societal issues and problematic medical issues that have occurred in the recent millennia. I then talk about medicine and tying language into it, as well as discussion on physiological terms and all the Latin incorporated within the musculature system. I also talk about functions of muscles...
