Word of the day Today's word is CAJOLE. Cajole [kuh-JOHL] verb 1a: to persuade with flattery or gentle urging: coax b: to obtain from someone by gentle persuasion 2: to deceive with soothing words or false promises Example: My was able to cajole me to buy her some things she didn't want to buy herself and send them to her at school. Did you know? "Cajole" comes from a French verb, "cajoler," which has the same meaning as the English word. You might not think to associate "cajole" with "cage," but some etymologists theorize that "cajoler" is connected to not one but two words for "cage." One of them is the Anglo-French word "cage," from which we borrowed our own "cage." It comes from Latin "cavea," meaning "cage." The other is the Anglo-French word for "birdcage," which is "gaiole." It's an ancestor of our word "jail," and it derives from Late Latin "caveola," which means "little cage." Anglo-French speakers had a related verb, "gaioler," which meant "to chatter like a jay in a cage." It's possible that "cajoler" is a combination of "gaioler" and "cage." Not in the mood to come up with a sexy example and know that here probably is a few. Not in the mood to talk either. Hope y'all had a decent Monday. |
