interior and exterior are derived from latin, 'inter' and 'exterus' meaning inside and outside. Exhaust is also latin, from 'exhaustus'. Now if we derived our word for 'to take in' from latin, 'concipio,' then you probably would have slept fine last night not even thinking about this. Instead we use a more modern english translation of "take in" or 'intake.'
i would like to thank google and my work for giving the the resources and time, respectivly, to help answer this question. -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |
