Wordsmith.orgThe magic of words MooT, MetaMooT, and UltiMooT - the semantics & etymology trilogy The world's toughest language game gets even tougher. mootgame.com How to sponsor? May 20, 2025 This week’s theme Bloody words! This week’s words sanguineous bloody-minded “I know my head’s bloody, but I still don’t want to go to the hospital.” Illustration: Anu Garg + AI A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg bloody-minded PRONUNCIATION: (BLUHD-ee-MYN-did) MEANING: adjective: 1. Disposed to violence and bloodshed. 2. Stubborn; obstructive. (chiefly used in British English) ETYMOLOGY: From blood, from Old English blod + mind, from Old English gemynd (memory, thought). Earliest documented use: 1545. NOTES: The word bloody itself has an unexpectedly colorful history. Depending on where you are, it can be a mild intensifier (bloody fool) or borderline profane. Its taboo status may have arisen from a mistaken belief that it referred to Christ’s blood. Bloody in the second meaning of bloody-minded is used as an intensifier, implying someone is strong-willed. For more bloody fun, see how Pygmalion came to be a euphemism for bloody. And if you’re wondering how far it’s come, look no further than Tourism Australia’s 2006 ad campaign: “So where the bloody hell are you?” USAGE: “[Jon Meacham] says, ‘Pilate was a bullying, bloody-minded prefect.’” Jim Keogh; Seeking Truth in Gibson’s ‘Passion’; Telegram & Gazette (Worcester, Massachusetts); Feb 19, 2004. “[Virat] Kohli’s ambition is as fierce as ever, his bloody-minded focus on winning matches undimmed.” Anand Vasu; Trophy Awaits Its Champions; The Economic Times (New Delhi, India); Mar 9, 2025. See more usage examples of bloody-minded in Vocabulary.com’s dictionary. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury. -John Stuart Mill, philosopher and economist (20 May 1806-1873) Have a comment?

Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 May 19 Your browser does not support the video tag. Alt text: A flyover of Pluto's Moon Charon is shown from the New Horizons spacecraft. Charon Flyover from New Horizons Video Credit: NASA, JHUAPL, SwRI, P. Schenk & J. Blackwell (LPI); Music: Juicy by ALBIS Explanation: What if you could fly over Pluto's moon Charon -- what might you see? The New Horizons spacecraft did just this in 2015 July as it zipped past Pluto and Charon with cameras blazing. The images recorded allowed for a digital reconstruction of much of Charon's surface, further enabling the creation of fictitious flights over Charon created from this data. One such fanciful, minute-long, time-lapse video is shown here with vertical heights and colors of surface features digitally enhanced. Your journey begins over a wide chasm that divides different types of Charon's landscapes, a chasm that might have formed when Charon froze through. You soon turn north and fly over a colorful depression dubbed Mordor that, one hypothesis holds, is an unusual remnant from an ancient impact. Your voyage continues over an alien landscape rich with never-before-seen craters, mountains, and crevices. The robotic New Horizons spacecraft has too much momentum to ever return to Pluto and Charon and is now headed out of our Solar System.
