Your link stacks are something else! I could spend hours looking them all up. But the dog doesn’t walk himself and, like dessert, I best snack at them in small bites.
The Doug Harper / Etymonline interview is such a gem — that site has been my go-to for years whenever I'm diving into word origins. It's striking how one person's obsessive deep-dive project became such an essential resource. Also appreciated the link to Zoe Scaman's piece on AI naming; the gap between what these tools actually do and what we call them creates so much confusion.

Thanks (I guess?).
Absolutely! Each one is to be savoured!

Ah, color naming!
