Unrolling

Evolution, from the Latin for the unrolling of a book.

How wonderfully elegant!

As you grow up there are fewer and fewer instances of that wonderful little expansive feeling when you realized the etymology of a word.

The more you know the bigger the world is!

It nice to know that feeling doesn't go away.

  1. Cool. That one's new to me, I'm surprised to say. It's got to be related to involute and convolute referring to kinds of coiled lines. Now it just occurs to me I now know the origin of the word "volume."
    New magic in a dusty world.
