- What do you read, Prince ?
- Words, words, words.
=================..

Etymology…………
Etymology is the study of the history of words — when they entered a
language,
from what source, and how their form and meaning have changed over
time.

In Roman mythology, every man had a genius and every woman a juno
(Juno was also the name of the queen of the gods).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genius_(mythology)

Roman etymology: every man had a genius ( !!! )
Maybe “ genius” means “ soul ”. ( ? )

We also changed the meaning of words and created new abstractions.
A genius is a person of great intelligence ……. ( ? )
