הנה התשובות:

אני מניח שאתם כבר יודעים את התשובות (?). Serendipity: לגלות תגליות באקראי. Serendip, שם קודם של האי, באוקיינוס ההודי, סרי-לנקה. שנת 1754, הוראס וולפול טבע את המילה Serendipity, בהתבסס על האגדה, "שלושת הנסיכים מסרנדיפ", על היותם מגלים תגליות באקראי. Defenestrate: לזרוק דבר-מה מהחלון. בתחילת המאה ה-17 נגזרה המילה מלטינית. DE-להשליך, Fenestra- חלון. Maroon: לנטוש אדם על אי שומם, ללא מזון. נגזרת מצרפתית וספרדית. cimarrón >>>> maron >>>> maroon מלבד פירוש זה, ישנו פירוש נוסף - חום, אדום. המילה "מרס" (מאדים) חבויה בפנים. Cruciverbalist: חובב תשבצים. נגזרת מלטינית. cruci- (cross) + Verbum - Verbalist התשובות אינן מלאות, למעשה יש סיפור גדול מאחורי כל אחת.

הסיפורים מאחורי המילים! ../images/Emo13.gif

Defenestrate: Angry at a lack of religious freedom, Protestant insurgents broke up a meeting of royal officials in Hradcany, the Prague Castle, then went on to express their extreme displeasure by tossing two officials and their secretary out a window. Those thus defenestrated weren't seriously hurt, however. (Depending on which account you read, this is either because they were tossed out of a window that was relatively low, or landed in a moat, or perhaps both). At any rate, this picturesque event became widely known as the Defenestration of Prague. It ignited the devastating Thirty Years' War, as Protestants from neighboring countries joined together in revolt against the Hapsburg Emperor Ferndinand II. Defenestrate comes from Latin fenestra, meaning "window," and is therefore a relative of words for "window" in several other languages, including French fenêtre, German Fenster, and Italian finestra. Serendipity: Horace Walpole: “. . . this discovery indeed is almost of that kind which I call serendipity, a very expressive word, which as I have nothing better to tell you, I shall endeavor to explain to you: you will understand it better by the derivation than by the definition. I once read a silly fairy tale, called The Three Princes of Serendip: as their highnesses travelled, they were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of: for instance, one of them discovered that a mule blind of the right eye had travelled the same road lately, because the grass was eaten only on the left side, where it was worse than on the right--now do you understand serendipity?” Maroon: you can read about it here
