        Knowing the origin of a word can give you a clearer understanding of the word. For example, the word sabotagemeans “the intentional destruction of materials, machines, or some process of production.” The meaning of the termbecomes clear when you learn that sabotage comes from the French word sabat, meaning “wooden shoe,” and it wascoined during the French Revolution when workers sabotaged French factories by throwing their shoes into themachinery.
        Looking up the origin of a word also reminds you that language is constantly changing, with old words gaining newmeanings and new words being born. The word chauvinist, for example, was never used before 1815. It was coined as aresult of the fanatic loyalty of a French soldier, Nicolas Chauvin, to Napoleon. Thus, chauvinism has come to mean blindattachment to something, such as one’s beliefs or, as it is commonly used today, one’s sex. The word boycott is anotherword that has a relatively recent origin, and it also originated from a person’s name. In the 1880s, during the strugglebetween British landowners and Irish tenant farmers, a man by the name of Captain Charles Boycott was hired to collectthe rent from the farmers on a large estate in County Mayo. The impoverished Irish peasants, however, got together anddecided to ignore Captain Boycott by refusing to pay and expelling him.
