fernweh - (n.) feeling homesick for a place you’ve never been

word weird: autumn

* derived from the latin autumnus and possibly the ancient etruscan root autu-, which means the passing of the year. 

* was used as the old french autompne (automne in modern french and autumpne in middle english) before it was normalised into the original latin

* before the 16th century, harvest was used to refer to the season 

* the word backend, once a common way to refer to the season, has been replaced by autumn

* the alternative word, fall, coming from the old english fiaell or feallen and the old norse fall, means to "fall from a height" and also is related to phrases like "fall of a leaf" and "fall of the year"

* in poetry, autumn is often associated with melancholia (as in Yeats's poem the wild swans at coole and Keats's to autumn)

* since 1997, Autumn is one of the top 100 names for girls in the united states

word weird: dream

dream

* related to the old norse draumr and the danish drøm - “merriment; noise”

* came from proto-germanic draugmas - “deception, illusion, phantasm”

* possible cognates: sanskrit druh - “seek to harm or injure”

* old english dream meant “joy, mirth, noisy merriment”, and also “music”

    * this version is different from the modern word for “sleeping vision”

    * it faded from use after early middle english

* before it meant “sleeping vision”, the old english dream (or swefn) meant “sleep”

(from “origin and history of dream”, etymonline.)
