    Having a large and diverse vocabulary is always an advantage.
    I like many words and I am especially fond of words that have interesting etymologies.

      I love etymology as a whole. Perhaps, it has to do with the fact that I speak 2 other languages other than English and study others. So I'm always paying attention to cognates, falses ones, "borrowed" words and expressions from one language to another, etc. Anyways, you haven't mentioned one single word you like. Tell one that has interesting origin? Pretty please. :)

          Wow! Very interesting indeed. I had no idea an innocent hash smoker could pass for an assassin.

            That's what they want you to think.
            Read the complete etymology under "Assassins" in Wikipedia. (Read the prologue as well)
            Then read "The Asasiyun" by Devian Art.
