Help[Facts] Re: Hey Pavlanana! Is"anathema" a Greek word?
in reply to a message by Daividh
Once again on target, Mr KY Bluegrass. The word Anathema (which predates the pontiff by a couple of
millennia) is most appropriate under the circumstances: it is derived from "ana" (re-) and "theto" (to put, to place)
i.e. to replace things in a new (presumably better) order. The word is usually associated with damnation, but is
much more profound and radical in its connotations.
