Hey Ward, have you ever noticed how the word “guard” actually comes from the Old French *garder* meaning to keep, which in turn comes from Latin *custodia*, and how that contrasts with the Japanese word “hanzai” for guarding or warding off? I’ve been thinking it would be fun to compare how different cultures linguistically encode the idea of protection and vigilance, since you’re always on the lookout and I love tracing words back to their roots. How do you feel about exploring that?
