Words That Began as Metaphors
Manage episode 318592798 series 2776221
Usually, a word begins with a literal, concrete meaning. (Like concrete, for example.) Then, eventually, it starts being used metaphorically. (Hey again, concrete!)
But with these words, that's not the case. These words began as metaphors and then went backwards.
Then: what's the difference between ferment and foment?
Hosted by Emily Brewster, Ammon Shea, and Peter Sokolowski.
Produced in collaboration with New England Public Media.
