THOUGHTS FROM THE STACKS
January 6 A Pondering of Style
Last night, as I was trying to drift off into sleep, what makes up our human defined Sense of Style popped into my head and how that word is used and applied to individuals. (This sprouted from my contemplations of purchasing a new dress with white, knee-high cowboy boots like the woman in the picture modelling said dress that I definitely do not need.) The etymology of the word ‘style’ actually brings it back to the Latin ‘stilus’ which pertained to “stake, instrument for writing, manner of writing, mode of expression”, perhaps even from the same source as ‘stick’. If you follow that possibility, it brings you to Old English ‘stician’ “to pierce, stab, transfix, goad,” also “to remain embedded, stay fixed, be fastened,” from Proto-Germanic ‘*stik-‘“pierce, *****, be sharp”. The figurative sense of "to remain permanently in mind" is attested from 1300. But we will stop there.
