We rarely think about the origin of words, but this is so interesting! It turns out that some formed from the names and surnames of people who made the opening, created weapons or composed a culinary recipe! The words of eponyms are language monuments indicating the object to which the personal name has passed: the name of the method in science, illness in medicine, inventions in technology ...
Read! And you will learn that Watman is not a sheet of paper, but an English industrialist, Galife is not a model of trousers, but a French general, and a diesel engine is not a piston engine, but the surname of the inventor!
