Random information on the term “Root word?”:
In morphology and lexicography, a lemma (plural lemmas or lemmata) is the canonical form, dictionary form, or citation form of a set of word forms. In English, for example, break, breaks, broke, broken and breaking are forms of the same lexeme, with break as the lemma by which they are indexed. Lexeme, in this context, refers to the set of all the inflected or alternating forms in the paradigm of a single word, and lemma refers to the particular form that is chosen by convention to represent the lexeme. Lemmas have special significance in highly inflected languages such as Arabic, Turkish and Russian. The process of determining the lemma for a given lexeme is called lemmatisation. The lemma can be viewed as the chief of the principal parts, although lemmatisation is at least partly arbitrary.
The form of a word that is chosen to serve as the lemma is usually the least marked form, but there are several exceptions such as the use of the infinitive for verbs in some languages.
Random information on the term “OLE”:
¡Ole! or ¡olé! is a Spanish interjection used to cheer on or praise a performance, especially associated with the audience of bullfighting and flamenco dance, but common in many other contexts in Spain. In football, it can be used as a form of mockery or encouragement depending on how it is used, and it is also frequently used as a football chant (outside Spain) as in “Olé, Olé, Olé”.
The origin of the word olé is uncertain. A popular idea is that the word comes from “Allāh”, the Arabic word for God, perhaps as “wa Ilâh” (by God), or “yāllāh” (O God). It was believed that the presence and power of God could be glimpsed through an exceptional performance, for example in a flamenco dance. It has also been argued that when Flamenco dancers chant the word in cante jondo, they were reciting the beginning of the Shahada (“la illaha illa Allah”) and that they were performing a Muwashshah. The linguist Joan Coromines in his Diccionario crítico etimológico castellano e hispánico links “olé” to the Spanish word for “hello” hola and hala. Hola has also been proposed to have come from Arabic. However, the suggested derivations from Arabic of both olé and hola are disputed and they are described by the Spanish Arabist Federico Corriente as “falsos arabismos” (false Arabisms) in his work Diccionario de arabismos y voces afines en iberorromance. The Spanish dictionary Diccionario de la lengua española that stated the “wa Ilâh” origin of “olé” in its earlier editions has removed the claim since 2001.
