Food Allergies and Constipation: The Hidden Link

When we think of food allergies, the images that often come to mind are sudden reactions—hives, swelling, or vomiting. But what if the symptoms are quieter, slower, and harder to notice?

A Miserable Miser

If you're anything like me, sometimes you wonder why two words sound similar, even if their meanings don't seem that related.

Today we're going to look into two such words.

miser: n. A person who hoards wealth and spends as little money as possible.

miserable: adj. 1. (of a person) Wretchedly unhappy or uncomfortable. 2. (of a situation or environment) Causing someone to feel wretchedly unhappy or uncomfortable: "horribly wet and miserable conditions"

Is this a case of false friends?

Nope! Miser comes from the same Latin word, and meant "unhappy, wretched". It was adopted into English in the 1540s and started to take on its modern meaning in the 1560s, until the original was lost. 

Miserable is derived from the same word, but it had a few mutations along the way. (There's good old French again!)
