words wholly related
bowel & pudding
gasp! these words don’t even share any letters and their meanings have no overlap. could my favourite butterscotch treat and the part of my body that i use to dispatch it actually come from a common word? the answer is yes—they both come from the latin word for sausage, botulus.
the bowel (from french boel) was said to resemble a little sausage and before pudding (from french boudin) referred to my goto fourings snack, it described any boiled animal product, especially a sausage.
