Origin of Words.
To Milan Is owed the word "mflll-
nery," a milliner having been origin
ally a Mllaner, an Importer of femin
ine flnery from Milan, Just as a
"cordwalne:,” shoemaker, was a work
er In "cordouan," leather from Cord
ova. It Is curious to note bow many
words have come from the geographi
cal names of northern Italy. There
is, for Instance, "florin,” the coin of
Florence, and “pistol," from Plstoja.
Dr. Johnson said that the worJ
“Job" was "a low word now much In
use, of which I cannot tell the etym
ology." It Is supposed to be really
Identical with "bog,” a mouthful or
morsel. Pepya recorJs how "my lord"
said to him, “I will do you all the good
Jobs I can" and £epys himself speaks
of Tangier as "hitherto used as a Job
to do a kindness to some lord.” But
the simple monosyllabic ugliness of
the word was too much for Johnson,
Many wor's of the most august
sound prove to be quite commonplac
ancestry when traced to their origins.
“Finance" Is really only settling up.
Literally It is Just "ending” and was
formerly used In that very simple
sense In the English language. Then
It came to signify settling up with
creditor and acquired the special
sense ot ransom.
