#Seminal:

"The thing which distinguishes #culture & #entertainment is the act of #revisiting.

Importantly, entertainment becomes culture all the time but it is the act of revisiting a work of entertainment which causes that transformation to happen.

Critically, it is the act of revisiting itself and not the subject of that revisiting which, to use a made-up word, enculturates a work."

The #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is SEASON/SEMINAR/SEMINAL #wotd #season #seminar #seminal

It’s conference season for academics and many of them will be heading off to attend seminars about various topics, and might even hear some seminal research. Seminal and seminar come from the Latin word semen “seed”. It’s basically an agricultural metaphor: seminal work is at the seed stage; to disseminate information is to scatter it like seeds; Latin seminarium “plant nursery” gained figurative educational senses in seminary and seminar. All these words go back to the Proto-Indo-European root *se- “to sow”, which through the Germanic branch also gives us the words sow and seed. This root also produced the Latin verb serere “to sow” and from it the noun satio “a sowing, a planting”, which became Old French seison and English season. As its form changed so too did its sense, shifting from “the act of sowing” to “the time of sowing” and then broadened to mean “time of year” in general. The verb to season, as with spices, comes from the notion of a fruit seasoning or ripening and thus becoming more flavourful as it ripens.
