I like to know origin of words we are all using, usually without any second though (especially if the words are taken over from another language without any understanding of its original meaning, which is much more common in my mother tongue) - many times they easily show their deeper meaning and way how they work and that all just by understanding (translating) them. Usually is enough to know very basic of latin and/or greece.
For example "entertainment" meant "provision for support of a retainer; manner of social behavior," something to "amuse" you with, to lull you down - in comparison with such an innocent and neutral word like "information" which is pretty simple something which transform you: put your mind In Form, force you to change. We call our times "Information Age", but I don't think that general population is conscious of those nuances... Other great examples are words like "radical" (someone who are trying to reach roots) or even "fundamentalist". I like to find out this "new-speak" games of common ("info") language.
