When you hear a new word, perhaps one tries to break it in
an attempt to reach to its etymology and learn something about it……..
Recently, came across this word ‘nudiustertian’
for the first time..
When you talk about time and days ~ it is today – the day
to come next is Tomorrow, and the next day is ‘day after tomorrow’. Similarly referring to the past ~ it is
‘yesterday’ and the day prior to that is ‘day before yesterday’.
Do you know how to state the ‘day before yesterday’ ~ the
actual term for reference to 2 days before the present day ? Understand that it
is “nudiustertian” [courtesy
wordsmith.org]; pronounced
(noo-dee-uhs-TUR-shuhn), the adjective means ‘Of or relating to the day
before yesterday.’
Its etymology is given as from Latin nudius tertius, literally,
today is the third day; it has nothing to do with the word ‘nude’ which would
mean naked or unclothed as a person or the body or bare with the usual coverings, furnishings
etc.,
And do you know that on your Computer, a google
search on ‘Nude’ would perhaps throw the following result …………… if Google Safe Search is
active on your computer..
