Hi there English learners!! 😊
I can't believe that it's mid-May ALREADY!!! 😱😱
Where does the time go?? 🙉🙊🙈
Today's words are: YES and INDUBITABLY!
Yes is a very old word. It entered English before the year 900 and comes from the Old English word gese loosely meaning "be it." Before the 1600s, yes was often used only as an affirmative to a negative question, and yea was used as the all-purpose way to say "yes." (https://www.dictionary.com/e/s/yes-words/#yes)
- YES synonyms include Aye, OK, Sure and Yea / Yeah!
Indubitably: The word indubitably, like many words with a negative prefix, comes from its internal root, dubitable.
Strangely though, the negative variation has always been more popular than its root. They both come from the Latin word dubitare meaning "to doubt."
That's all for today!
