Have you ever said a words out loud and then wondered about why it is called that from the moment it leaves your lips?
Well I had a moment like that today.
I couldn't help but wonder where the word MUSCLE came from, so I went and looked it up;
It turns out that the word muscle is rooted in Latin and translates directly to “little mouse”.
Can you imagine walking into a gym and telling a guy, "HEY... Looking Good, Your little Mice Are Buff Hey!!""
Here are a few others that popped under my attention in the process:
Mortgage directly translates to “death pledge”
Lunatic uses the Latin word 'luna' meaning “moon”, because it was believed that insanity was caused by moon-changes in some.
Curfew is taken from the French “couvrir” and “feu” translating to “cover fire”.
