This week, Kyle takes Emily on a circular journey around the word deasil. (And, no, he didn’t just misspell the word diesel.)
They discover the secret of why clockwise is clockwise, and discuss how the movement of the sun was once seen as lucky. They also reveal their north bias, wondering if clocks turn the right way south of the equator.
But they also discuss the opposite of deasil, widdershins, and take a hard left turn into the occult. Kyle and Emily discuss the first witch trial of Scotland, the reason King James was so superstitious, and how those events affected the career of William Shakespeare.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
