This week, our hosts chat about families of all kinds--biological and marital, real and mythical, loving and… strained, as they explore the history of the word privign.
Kyle reveals some little-known Latin words that came before modern words like “stepson” and “stepdaughter.” He talks about how these step- words became common, and what a “stepmom” or “stepdad” might have once meant. But to show us the history of privign, he treats Emily to a bit of theatre!
They look at something called a masque, which is something between a musical and a pantomime. Their theater trip takes Kyle and Emily through some classic Greek mythology, some drama between playwrights, and a surprising connection between Hercules and the Milky Way.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
