ides

Etymology 1
From, , from and , from , a fourth-declension plurale tantum, from the Latin practice of treating most recurring calendrical days as plurals. The Latin term is cognate with Oscan eiduis, both perhaps deriving from an unknown Etruscan term. Middle English and Old French also used the singular form.

Noun

 * 1)  The notional full-moon day of a Roman month, occurring on the 15th day of the four original 31-day months (March, May, Quintilis or July, and October) and on the 13th day of all other months.
 * 2) * 10th century, Byrhtferð of Ramsey, Enchiridion (Ashmolean MS 328), Book I, Chapter ii, Section 22:
 * Þa monðas þe habbað iiii nonas æfter kalendas... habbað to idus xiii dagas and to ii kalendas eahtatyne.
 * Those months that have 4 nones after the kalends... have 13 days to the ides and eighteen to the second kalends.
 * 1) * 2011, Robert A. Kaster trans. Macrobius, Saturnalia, Book I, Chapter xiv, Section 8:
 * [March, May, Quintilis, and October] also have their Nones on the seventh, as Numa ordained, because Julius changed nothing about them. As for January, Sextilis, and December, they still have their Nones on the fifth, though they began to have thirty-one days after Caesar added two days to each, and it is nineteen days from their Ides to the following Kalends, because in adding the two days Caesar did not want to insert them before either the Nones or the Ides, lest an unprecedented postponement mar religious observance associated with the Nones or Ides themselves, which have a fixed date.
 * The third day before the ides of March is March 13th; the third ides of August is August 11th; and the third of the ides of November is November 11th.
 * [March, May, Quintilis, and October] also have their Nones on the seventh, as Numa ordained, because Julius changed nothing about them. As for January, Sextilis, and December, they still have their Nones on the fifth, though they began to have thirty-one days after Caesar added two days to each, and it is nineteen days from their Ides to the following Kalends, because in adding the two days Caesar did not want to insert them before either the Nones or the Ides, lest an unprecedented postponement mar religious observance associated with the Nones or Ides themselves, which have a fixed date.
 * The third day before the ides of March is March 13th; the third ides of August is August 11th; and the third of the ides of November is November 11th.

Usage notes
English use of the Roman calendrical term always employs the Romans' inclusive dating, including the ides itself when counting. Thus, the "third day before the ides of March" is March 13th: two days before March 15th, not three.

English usage also often follows the Latin contraction of the phrasing, which omits the words. March 13th may appear as the "third ides of March" or the "third of the ides of March". Thus, the "second ides" is the 14th day of the old long months and the 12th day of the other months; the "third ides"  is the day before that; the "fourth ides" is the day before that; and so on until the "eighth ides", which is preceded by the nones in every month.

Usage notes
According to (2nd edition), "illegal" may mean only that something lacks authority of the law or support from law (that is, that it's not legal), not that it's against the law, but that in ordinary usage it means a violation of the law. The "law" however may be a common-law principle rather than a statute.

The use of "illegal" to describe a person rather than an action is often regarded as offensive; see below.

Blighty

Etymology
Corruption of the  /, which is related to Arabic , whence also, through Turkish,.

Sir Henry Yule and Arthur C. Burnell explained in their Anglo-Indian dictionary, Hobson-Jobson, published in 1886, that the word was used in the names of several kinds of exotic foreign things, especially those that the British had brought into the country, such as the tomato,, and especially to soda water, which was commonly called.

Blighty was the inevitable British soldier’s corruption of it. But it only came into common use as a term for Britain at the beginning of the First World War in France about 1915. It turns up in popular songs "There’s a ship that’s bound for Blighty", "We wish we were in Blighty", and "Take me back to dear old Blighty, put me on the train for London town", and in Wilfred Owen's poems, as well as many other places.

The sense of a minor wound comes from attributive use of the noun, as in “a Blighty wound,” “a Blighty one,” 1916.

In modern Australian usage, Old has been added, as in Old Country and Old Dart, as a sentimental reference to Britain.

Proper noun

 * 1)  Great Britain, Britain, or England, especially as viewed from abroad.

Usage notes
Some cookbooks and manufacturers of kitchen measurement sets have attempted to define a smidgen for recipes. Anything between $1/25$ and $1/48$ of a teaspoon may be found, $1/32$ being perhaps the most commonly used. Other commonly used measures for small amounts include tad, dash, pinch, and drop. There seems to be some consensus of tad being the largest in this set and a smidgen being larger than a drop but smaller than a pinch.

barză

Etymology
Compare 🇨🇬: both it and the Romanian word may derive from, akin to 🇨🇬.

Another theory suggests that its origin is a root *gardea, from  (compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, also 🇨🇬). The confusion of g and b is somewhat unusual, but may be explained as a Balkan influence. Other cases in Romanian include, , , (compare also 🇨🇬, from 🇨🇬).

A third proposal is borrowing from a Dacian *barza meaning "stork", derived from a Proto-Indo-European root, also reflected in e.g. 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

Alternatively, the Romanian word may derive from, possibly from or via , from. Aromanian and Megleno-Romanian [dz] excludes the root *barza, requiring instead *bardza. The sound change from Proto-Indo-European "sr̥" is only attested for Thracian [br] in but, due to its conspicuity, it is uncertain whether it occurred as well in Dacian and with a vowel in between. These etymologies don't explain the regional variants and, that provide evidence for [d] in the term of origin and could solely be explained by another borrowing from early unattested Old Albanian  or.

brânză

Etymology
Compare 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. Often considered to be a substratum word.
