Wonder


"What will tomorrow's word be--wonder?" I wrote in my last post.

And it is!  But this time, native Spanish speakers won't know the origin of the word, unlike "grace."  It derives from Old English wundor.

It means to be amazed, and like "grace" has come to have other meanings as well.  Commonly, it means to think, to ponder.

Spanish is more sensible--preguntarse--or ask yourself.

Hmmm, wonder why?
