SO WHAT DOES THIS POEM LOOK LIKE?
Ruminations.
Where does the word "race" come from?
"Race," meaning "the act of running" comes from Old Norse rās, "a rush (of water), a running." The identical word meaning "people of common descent," however, comes from the Italian razza, with the same meaning; though this is disputed. The OED lists 87 different meanings for the word - 62 nouns, 24 verbs, and 1 adjective. Obsolete meanings for the noun include "a raid," "the act of riding rapidly on horseback, as in a joust," "a person's progress through life," "a voyage," and "the path taken by a moving body." Current meanings for the noun include "the bed of a stream (often artificial)," "a narrow passageway for separating animals," "a series of things," "the progress of time," and "the journey of the sun or moon." Obsolete meanings for the verb include "to tear," "to penetrate," "to alter a book by erasing," "to slash an item of clothing," and "to impart one's character to one's offspring, said of birds." Current meanings for the verb include "to lacerate," and "to roughen a grindstone." The adjective means "bare or level (said of a measure)." The earliest written use of the noun is in 1330, in the document known as Arthour & Merlin in the Auchinleck manuscript.
