Kyle and Emily have been caught red handed! This week they’re exploring crime and punishment of the most Medieval kind, as they discuss the meaning and origin of infangthief.
They begin with the origins of this criminal word--which, if you’re wondering, IS related to fangs… a little. But the thief relation is a little more concrete, as this word pulls our hosts deep into Medieval history and feudal justice.
Our hosts dig into the specific, harsh, and at times macabre aspects of criminal justice in feudalism. And, after parsing out the legal ramifications of In and Out theft, Kyle and Emily also talk about some inseparable pairs of words in the realm of law and order.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
