NAMELY
EP-oh-nimz
a word based on
or derived from a person's name.
First Known Use: mid-19th
century
“What’s in a
Name?”
Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, 2.2
1: Adam’s apple: the lump of
cartilage surrounding the larynx at the front of the human neck—most noticeable
on adult men (source: back to 1625; one possible idea for the source: when Adam swallowed
the apple, it stuck)
His Adam’s apple—huge and
thick—
Made those who looked at him feel sick.
“But I can’t help it!” (So he cried.)
But no one listened—thought he’d lied.
Eventually, he found a wife—
A lucky man—it saved his life.
No more did he just wail and grieve,
For now he’d married his own Eve.
