Listen "Surprising Word Origins Around the World!"
Episode Synopsis
We explore fascinating journeys of words such as "chocolate" originating from Nahuatl, "bungalow" from Hindi, and "typhoon" from Greek, Arabic, and Chinese, tracing their origins and showing how cultural exchange, historical events, and even mythology have influenced the English vocabulary. The examples demonstrate the impact of trade, exploration, and linguistic borrowing on the development of language across different cultures.
