==[[w:basilica|Basilica]]==  

* 1540s, from L. basilica '''"building of a court of justice,"''' and, by extension, church built on the plan of one, from Gk.

In Rome, applied specifically to the seven principal churches founded by Constantine. 
* [[w:Basilisk|Basilisk]]:
** In European bestiaries and legends, a basilisk (English pronunciation: /ˈbæzɪlɪsk/[1], from the Greek βασιλίσκος basilískos, "little king"; Latin [[w:Regulus (disambiguation)|Regulus]]) '''is a legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents''' and said to have the power to cause death with a single glance. (wikipedia)
*** c.1300, from L. basiliscus, from Gk. basiliskos "little king," dim. of "[[w:basileus|basileus]];" said to have been so called because of a crest or spot on its head resembling a crown. "The basilisk has since the fourteenth century been confused with the [[w:Cockatrice|Cockatrice]]:, and the subject is now a complicated one." [T.H.White]. Its breath and glance were said to be fatal. The South American lizard so called (1813) because it, like the mythical beast, has a crest. Also used of a large cannon, throwing shot of 200 lb., in 1549.

==[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=dragon Dragon]==

* early 13c., from O.Fr. dragon, from L. draconem (nom. [[w:draco|draco]]) '''"huge serpent, dragon,"''' from Gk. ''drakon'' (gen. drakontos) "serpent, giant seafish," apparently from drak-, strong aorist stem of derkesthai "to see clearly," from PIE *derk- "to see." Perhaps the lit. sense is '''"the one with the (deadly) glance."''' The young are dragonets (14c.). Obsolete drake "dragon" is an older borrowing of the same word. Used in the Bible to translate Heb. tannin "a great sea-monster," and tan, a desert mammal now believed to be the jackal.

Probably cognate with M.Ir. basc "neckband," Welsh baich "load, burden," O.E. bæst "inner bark of the linden tree."

* (19th century, Italy) "'''[[w:Fascio|Fasci]]'''" - "'''groups of men organized for 'national-socialist' political purposes'''"

==[[w:Grammar|Grammar]]==

* '''[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=Grammar&searchmode=none Grammar]''' late 12c., gramarye, from O.Fr. grammaire "learning," especially Latin and philology, from L. grammatica, from Gk. grammatike tekhne "art of letters," with a sense of both philology and literature in the broadest sense, from gramma "letter," from stem of graphein "to draw or write" (see -graphy). Restriction to "rules of language" is a post-classical development, but as this type of study was until 16c. limited to Latin, M.E. gramarye also came to mean "learning in general, knowledge peculiar to the learned classes" (early 14c.), '''which included astrology and magic'''; hence the secondary meaning of "occult knowledge" (late 15c.), '''which evolved in Scottish into glamor''' (q.v.). A grammar school (late 14c.) was originally "a school in which the learned languages are grammatically taught" [Johnson, who also has grammaticaster "a mean verbal pedant"]. In U.S. (1860) the term was put to use in the graded system for "a school between primary and secondary, where English grammar is taught."

Popularized by the writings of Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832). Sense of "magical beauty, alluring charm" first recorded 1840.

==[[w:Holocaust|Holocaust]]==

:''See also: [[911:Masonic_Judaism|Masonic Judaism]]''

* c.1250, '''"sacrifice by fire, burnt offering"''', from Gk. holokauston, neut. of holokaustos "'''burned whole'''," from holos "whole" (see safe (adj.)) + kaustos, verbal adj. of kaiein "to burn." Originally a Bible word for "burnt offerings," given wider sense of '''"massacre, destruction of a large number of persons"''' from 1833. '''[[w:The Holocaust|The Holocaust]]''' "Nazi [[w:genocide|genocide]] of European Jews in World War II," first recorded 1957, earlier known in Heb. as Shoah "catastrophe." The word itself was used in Eng. in ref. to Hitler's Jewish policies from 1942, but not as a proper name for them. [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/holocaust]
** Why in mainstream culture do we accept the Jewish genocide as "[[w:The Holocaust|The Holocaust]]", when the word means a burnt offering? Was a burnt offering necessary to build the new (masonic controlled) state of Israel?

==Medium==

'''Medium'''
* 1580s, ''"a middle ground, quality, or degree,"'' from L. medium, from neut. of adj. medius (see medial). Meaning ''"intermediate agency, channel of communication"'' is from c.1600. That of ''"person who conveys spiritual messages"'' first recorded 1853 (A person thought to have the power to communicate with the spirits of the dead or with agents of another world or dimension. Also called [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=psychic psychic].)

'''Media'''
* Inhabitant of ancient Media, late 14c., from L. Medus, from Gk. Medos.
* ''"newspapers, radio, TV, etc."'' 1927, perhaps abstracted from mass media (1923, a technical term in advertising), pl. of medium, on notion of ''"intermediate agency,"'' a sense first found c.1600.

==[[w:Muse|Muse]]==

late 14c., protectors of the arts, from L. Musa, from Gk. Mousa, lit. "muse, music, song," from PIE root *mon-/*men-/*mn- "to think, remember" (see mind (n.)). The names of the nine Muses, daughters of Zeus and [[w:Mnemosyne|Mnemosyne]] (q.v.), and their specialties are traditionally: Calliope (epic poetry), Clio (history), Erato (love poetry, lyric art), Euterpe (music, especially flute), Melpomene (tragedy), Polymnia (hymns), Terpsichore (dance), Thalia (comedy), Urania (astronomy). 

Also see: 
* '''Museum''': 1610s, "the university building in Alexandria," from L. ''museum'' "library, study," from Gk. ''mouseion'' "place of study, library or museum," ''(Latinised from mouseion—'''a place where the muses were worshipped''')'' originally "a seat or shrine of the Muses," from ''Mousa'' "Muse." Earliest use in ref. to Eng. institutions was of libraries (e.g. the British Museum); sense of "building to display objects" first recorded 1680s. [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=muse&searchmode=none]
* '''Amuse''': late 15c., from M.Fr. ''amuser'' "divert, cause to muse," from a "at, to" (but here probably a causal prefix) + ''muser'' "ponder, stare fixedly." Sense of "divert from serious business, tickle the fancy of" is recorded from 1630s, but through 18c. the primary meaning was "deceive, cheat" by first occupying the attention. Bemuse retains more of the original meaning. 
* '''Music''': mid-13c., from O.Fr. ''musique'' (12c.), from L. musica, from Gk. mousike techne "art of the Muses," from fem. ''of mousikos'' "pertaining to the Muses," from ''Mousa'' "Muse." In classical Greece, any art in which the Muses presided, but especially music. The use of letters to denote music notes is probably at least from ancient Greece, as their numbering system was ill-suited to the job. Natural scales begin at C (not A) because in ancient times the minor mode was more often used than the major one. The natural minor scale begins at A. ''To face the music'' "accept the consequences" is from 1850; the exact image is uncertain, one theory ties it to stage performers, another to cavalry horses having to be taught to stay calm while the regimental band plays. To make (beautiful) music with someone "have sexual intercourse" is from 1967. Musicology "the study of the science of music" is from 1909.

==[[w:mystery|Mystery]]==

* Early 14c., in a theological sense, '''"religious truth via divine revelation, mystical presence of God,"''' from Anglo-Fr. *misterie (O.Fr. mistère), from L. mysterium, from Gk. mysterion (usually in pl. mysteria) '''"secret rite or doctrine,"''' from mystes '''"one who has been initiated,"''' from myein "to close, shut," perhaps referring to the lips ''(in secrecy)'' or ''to the eyes (only initiates were allowed to see the sacred rites)''. The Gk. word was used in [[w:Septuagint|Septuagint]] for "secret counsel of God," translated in Vulgate as sacramentum. Non-theological use in English, "a hidden or secret thing," is from c.1300. In reference to the ancient rites of Greece, Egypt, etc. it is attested from 1640s. Meaning "detective story" first recorded in English 1908. 
* "Handicraft, trade, art," late 14c., from M.L. misterium, alt. of L. ministerium "service, occupation, office, ministry" (see ministry), influenced in form by M.L. mysterium (see mystery (1)) and in sense by maistrie '''"mastery."''' Now only in mystery play, in ref. to the medieval performances, which often were staged by members of craft guilds. The two senses of mystery formed a common pun in (secular) Tudor theater.

* Pharaoh: the official title borne by the Egyptian kings down to the time when that country was conquered by the Greeks.

==[[w:Pontifex|Pontifex]]==

* Member of the supreme college of priests in ancient Rome, 1579, from L. ''pontifex'', probably from ''pont-'', stem of pons "bridge" + ''-fex'', ''-ficis'', root of ''facere'' "make." If so, the word originally meant "bridge-maker," or "path-maker." Weekley points out that, "bridge-building has always been regarded as a pious work of divine inspiration." '''Or the term may be metaphoric of bridging the earthly world and the realm of the gods'''. Other suggestions trace it to Oscan-Umbrian ''puntis'' "propitiary offering," or to a lost Etruscan word, in either case altered by folk-etymology to resemble the L. for "bridge-maker."

* [c.1434, "'''creed, summary, religious belief,'''" from L.L. symbolum "'''creed, token, mark,'''" from Gk. symbolon "'''token, watchword'''" (applied c.250 by Cyprian of Carthage to the Apostles' Creed, on the notion of the "'''mark'''" that distinguishes Christians from pagans), from syn- "together" + stem of ballein "to throw." The sense evolution is from "'''throwing things together'''" to "contrasting" to "comparing" to "'''token used in comparisons to determine if something is genuine.'''" Hence, "'''outward sign'''" of something. The meaning "'''something which stands for something else'''" first recorded 1590 (in "Faerie Queene"). Symbolic is attested from 1680.

** "The word derives from the Latin '''vates''', which means "'''tellers of the future'''." This name was the name given to a hillside on the west bank of the Tiber River in Rome because daily lineups of fortunetellers used to hawk their "wares" there to passersby on the street. In the fourteenth century, when the papacy was returned to Rome from Avignon (France), the present-day Vatican became the residence of the popes, and the word came to refer to the enclave in the middle of Rome that had become the seat of the Roman Catholic Church."

* "If Jupiter is the King of the Planets, then Saturn is the Queen of the Planets. Saturn, in ancient days, was known as Chronos, the keeper of Time. Chronos, was the son of Uranus and his wife, Rhea (the firmament). Chronos' wife was Gaia (the Earth). Saturn is the mother and giver of all forms, both mother and father, and posessing qualities of both sexes. The rings around Saturn were easily seen by the ancients, and limit the planet within them, as time limits our existence here on Earth. Saturn is the last planet the ancients could see with their primitive telescopes, and so we have 7 days in the week, each day named after a corresponding planet. This is most evident from the French (or Spanish) names for the days of the week, as follows:

In fact, the word ''MONTH'' comes from the length of time the moon takes to complete one revolution around the Earth (a ''MOONTH'') or 28 days. There are 13 lunar months and 12 solar months in each year of our Earth." [http://z13.invisionfree.com/THE_UNHIVED_MIND/index.php?&act=ST&f=1&t=14789]

* '''What is the system behind the planetary day names?''' ([http://z13.invisionfree.com/THE_UNHIVED_MIND/index.php?showtopic=14789])
** "As we saw in the previous section, the planets have given the week days their names following this order: Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Sun. Why this particular order? One theory goes as follows: If you order the "planets" according to either their presumed distance from Earth (assuming the Earth to be the centre of the universe) or their period of revolution around the Earth, you arrive at this order:  Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. Now, assign (in reverse order) these planets to the hours of the day:
*** 1=Saturn, 2=Jupiter, 3=Mars, 4=Sun, 5=Venus, 6=Mercury, 7=Moon,
*** 8=Saturn, 9=Jupiter, etc., 23=Jupiter, 24=Mars
** The next day will then continue where the old day left off:
*** 1=Sun, 2=Venus, etc., 23=Venus, 24=Mercury
** And the next day will go
*** 1=Moon, 2=Saturn, etc.
** If you look at the planet assigned to the first hour of each day, you will note that the planets come in this order:
*** Saturn, Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus.
** This is exactly the order of the associated week days.
