stancarey OP , 23 days ago Fun newt fact, or rather "newt" fact: "A newt" used to be "an ewte", but the "n" jumped across thanks to rebracketing (misdivision, reanalysis, etc.)* The word's Old English etymon, "eft", now refers more narrowly to the juvenile terrestrial stage of certain newts. See also: adder, apron, nickname, umpire… #etymology #newt #language #words #NatureWords #nature
