Lionheart & FiloLog
Hey, Lionheart, I’ve been chewing on the etymology of your own moniker—“lionheart” literally—since I spotted the word in a medieval dictionary. It’s actually a compound of Old French “lion” and Middle English “hart” meaning “deer” but used metaphorically for bravery, and the whole phrase has floated through languages like a linguistic tumbleweed. I’d love to compare it with other heroic epithets across cultures—how the Greeks called their bold ones “heros” or the Norse used “sveinn” for brave youth—so we can see how different tongues stitch honor into their grammar. What do you think?
