Passage Three
About three hundred words in the English language come from the names ofpeople.Many of these words are technical words.When there is a new invention or discovery, a new word may be coined after the inventor or scientist.
It is interesting to observe how many common words have found their way into the languagefrom the names of people.Lord Sandwich, who lived from 1718 to1792, used to sit at thegambling table eating slices of bread with meat in-between.As the lord was the only man among his friends who ate bread in that way, his friend began to call the bread "sandwich" for fun.Later on the word became part of the English language.
The word "boycott" means to refuse to have anything to do with somebody or something.It comes fiom a man called Captain Boycott.He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes for an English landowner in Ireland.But the Captain was a very harsh man.He treated hispoor tenants very badly.His tenants decided not to speak to him at all.EventuaUy word got backto the landowner and the Captain was removed.The word "boycott" became popular and was .used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.
