This word's original meaning - dull or not interesting - comes from Latin. Word historians think it got its second meaning when people confused it with the French word 'jeune', which means young. We love how learning etymology fosters word consciousness!

As restrictions begin to lift it is important to acknowledge that some people may find this an anxious time. We need to be kind to each other and continue to be understanding of those around us. Have a good week everyone. @BurtonBorough
