Roman religion

That’s pretty interesting

The closest thing in modern day to any latin references in language is "diablo" which means devil in Spanish. Looking through the Latin book we have "de abo leo" which in latin meant annihilation in every days tongue, but directly meant the Abyss of the lion. In modern view the devil is also referred to as "lucifer" which means "light bringer" Luci meant light, fer meant to bring. In latin 200 years after christ the only reference to a Lucifer by name is venus as a planet. At that time a thief/scoundrel was called a fur, so someone not so learned in latin might hear lucifer as lucifur (light thief) and think of a darker thing than venus. Thieves and their likes were often put in a cipher (a shouldershackle) people punished like that were called furcipher (a shackled thief) another close word was lucifugus (someone hiding from the light) so heathens learning latin and about Roman deities like hades might blend these words together, but we still miss a little more. Inferno means bring to, inferi are people in hades underworld, inferus means lower laying and nos means we or ego, so inferno would over time be blended together as hell. Lou means to pay for your debt/sins diaboluo would be the Abyss where you pay for all your sins.

Put it all together and you can see how the devil was born from language distortion and beliefs about hades and his underworld.

That my friend is a true example of how powerful memes are when not being controlled. Small changes in concepts and ideals bring total war to the world.

Another more known example is how Hitler misunderstood darwinism because of the phrase "survival of the fittest" if anything his unnatural selection lead to more fit Jewish DNA, which is hilariously funny if it wasn't so tragic.

And darwin didn't even coin the phrase "survival of the fittest"

The big question is what other concepts are out there to wreak havoc on the world?

I've found one in the Norwegian language, a word destroyed by christianity which if resurrected could revive the ways of the Vikings within modern frames.

But that's a story for another day.

I had a assignment to say how Latin is used in modern day and I basically copy pasted getting rid of the last paragraph. So thank you

I've been eating a bit so double check the text. I'm on a phone and it constantly autocorrects which could become a future breeding ground for memes.

I destinguish memes in two categories, wild and designed, and for some reason wild memes are much more powerfull but they also tend to spread less.

Glad you can use it, I have more similar stuff.

The weekdays of the latin era have influenced the modern times, but have become weakened. I can quickly write up a summation.

You don’t need to that you have helped enough and that’s why I proofread and took Tour some things I also added stuff about the planets

Aw come on :)
It's not often that an entomologist gets to brag...

In European countries the word "bern" is part of several cities. The closest reference to what it means is the phrase "bernstein" which is amber.

In Danish books about etymology they tell you that Bernstein was probably once "burn stone" because amber can be burned as an incense. I pretty much disagree on this and refer to words like contubernalis (tentpartner) gubern (leader), hibern (vintercamp) and taberna (inn) all words with Bern in them and all sort of connected to a living space.

That means my take on Bernstein is that it's far more likely a camp-stone, because Roman settlements were pretty much all by the sea, and that's where you find amber!

Damn phone, etymologist, not entomologist!
Proof of concept would be to see how many cities with Bern is by the ocean.

I'd also be interested in reading the assignment:)
