CONGRATULATIONS TO Edwards654 - FTF @ 10:30 am
The thing that comes to mind when I hear the word egg is an ovoid object about the size of a golf ball that has been excreted by a chicken and tastes good with bacon, or mayonnaise, or scrambled with cheese, or fluffed into waffles, or…mmm…now I’m getting hungry.
But the fact is that any product of a female with a biological intention of reproduction is an egg. We just see more of the chicken variety than most others.
With this background I note that the ancestor words for egg do indeed seem to relate to birds, at least according to the American Heritage Dictionary. They point to an Indo-European root word awi that meant “bird” and one of its derivatives that was supposed to mean “egg.” They spell that ajja so I’m not quite sure how it’d be pronounced. The Oxford English Dictionary traces our English egg back to Old English and its Germanic ancestor languages but acknowledges it is likely related to the Latin and Greek words for “egg”, but that they just can’t prove it.
