I have seen videos of empty hospitals in diverse places.
We saw the docked Mercy and Comfort basically empty.
Has anyone checked prison capacities lately?

__________________________________________________________

hospital (n.)
excerpt

mid-13c., “shelter for the needy,” from Old French hospital, ospital “hostel, shelter, lodging” (Modern French hôpital), from Late Latin hospitale “guest-house, inn,” noun use of neuter of Latin adjective hospitalis “of a guest or host” (as a noun, “a guest; the duties of hospitality”), from hospes (genitive hospitis) “guest; host;” see host (n.1).

The sense of “charitable institution to house and maintain the needy” in English is from early 15c.; the meaning “institution for sick or wounded people” is recorded by 1540s. The same word, contracted, is hostel and hotel. The sense shift in Latin from duties to buildings might have been via the common term cubiculum hospitalis “guest-chamber.” The Latin adjective use continued in Old French, where ospital also could mean “hospitable” and ospitalite could mean “hospital.”

virus (n.)
excerpt
late 14c., “poisonous substance,” from Latin virus “poison, sap of plants, slimy liquid, a potent juice,” from Proto-Italic *weis-o-(s-) “poison,” which is probably from a PIE root *ueis-, perhaps originally meaning “to melt away, to flow,” used of foul or malodorous fluids, but with specialization in some languages to “poisonous fluid” (source also of Sanskrit visam “venom, poison,” visah “poisonous;” Avestan vish- “poison;” Latin viscum “sticky substance, birdlime;” Greek ios “poison,” ixos “mistletoe, birdlime;” Old Church Slavonic višnja “cherry;” Old Irish fi “poison;” Welsh gwy “poison”). The meaning “agent that causes infectious disease” is recorded by 1728 (in reference to venereal disease); the modern scientific use dates to the 1880s. The computer sense is from 1972.

“agent that causes infectious disease”
_____________________________________________________

agent (n.)
excerpt
late 15c., “one who acts,” from Latin agentem (nominative agens) “effective, powerful,” present participle of agere “to set in motion, drive forward; to do, perform; keep in movement” (from PIE root *ag- “to drive, draw out or forth, move”). Meaning “any natural force or substance which produces a phenomenon” is from 1550s. Meaning “deputy, representative” is from 1590s. Sense of “spy, secret agent” is attested by 1916.

__________________________________________________________

disease (v.)
excerpt
mid-14c., disesen, “to make uneasy; inflict pain,” a sense now obsolete; late 14c.

__________________________________________________________

venom (n.)
excerpt
mid-13c., venim, venym, “poison secreted by some animals and transferred by biting,” from Anglo-French and Old French venim, venin “poison; malice,” from Vulgar Latin *venimen (source also of Italian veleno, Spanish veneno), from Latin venenum “poison,” earlier (pre-classical) “drug, medical potion,” also “charm, seduction,” probably originally “love potion,” from PIE *wenes-no-, from root *wen- (1) “to desire, strive for.” Variously deformed in post-Latin languages, apparently by dissimilation. Modern spelling in English from late 14c. The meaning “bitter, virulent feeling or language” is first recorded c. 1300.

__________________________________________________________

venomous (adj.)
excerpt
“full of venom, noxious or hurtful by means of venom,” c. 1300, from Anglo-French venimeus, Old French venimos (12c., Modern French venimeux), from venim (see venom). Earliest recorded use is figurative; literal sense by early 14c. Biologists have tended to preserve a distinction between venomous and poisonous that the general language has forgotten: venomous is applied to what bites or stings to inject toxins, poisonous to what unload toxins when eaten. Related: Venomously; venomousness.

__________________________________________________________

fang (n.)
excerpt
Old English fang “prey, spoils, plunder, booty; a seizing or taking,” from gefangen, strong past participle of fon “seize, take, capture,” from Proto-Germanic *fāhanan (source also of Old Frisian fangia, Middle Dutch and Dutch vangen, Old Norse fanga, German fangen, Gothic fahan), from nasalized form of PIE root *pag- “to fasten” (source also of Latin pax “peace”).

The sense of “canine tooth” (1550s) was not in Middle English and probably developed from Old English fengtoð, literally “catching- or grasping-tooth.” Compare German Fangzahn. Transferred to the venom tooth of a serpent, etc., by 1800.

Bonus round

attercop (n.)
exceprt
“spider,” Old English atorcoppe “spider,” literally “poison-head,” from ator “poison, venom” (Middle English atter), from Proto-Germanic *aitra- “poisonous ulcer” (source also of Old Norse eitr, Old High German eitar “poison;” German eiter “pus,” Old High German eiz “abscess, boil;” Old English atorcræft “art of poisoning”) + copp “top, summit, round head,” probably also “spider” (compare cobweb and Dutch spinne-cop “spider”).

__________________________________________________________

spider (n.)
excerpt
late 14c., spydyr, spither, from earlier spiþre, spiþur, spiþer (mid-14c.), from Old English spiðra, from Proto-Germanic *spin-thron- (cognate with Danish spinder), literally “spinner,” from PIE root *(s)pen- “to draw, stretch, spin” + formative or agential *-thro. The connection with the root is more transparent in other Germanic cognates (such as Middle Low German, Middle Dutch, Middle High German, German spinne, Dutch spin “spider”).

The male is commonly much smaller than the female, and in impregnating the female runs great risk of being devoured. The difference in sizes is as if the human female should be some 60 or 70 feet tall. [Century Dictionary]
The loss of -n- before spirants is regular in Old English (compare goose (n.), tooth). For shift of -th- to -d- compare murder (n.), burden (n.), rudder.

Not the common word in Old or Middle English, which identified the creatures as loppe (Chaucer’s usual word), lobbe. Old English also had atorcoppe (Middle English attercop, literally “poison-head”), and (from Latin aranea), renge; Middle English had araine, “spider,” via Old French from the same Latin word; see arachnid). Another Old English word was gangewifre “a weaver as he goes.”

In literature, often a figure of cunning, skill, and industry as well as venomous predation; in 17c. English used figuratively for venomousness and thread-spinning but also sensitivity (to vibrations), lurking, independence. As the name for a type of two-pack solitaire, it is attested from 1890, probably based on resemblance of the layout of the decks in the original form of the game (see “Tarbart,” “Games of Patience,” 1901, p. 49).

__________________________________________________________

spindle (n.)
excerpt
early 13c., with unetymological -d-, from Old English spinel “small wooden bar used in hand-spinning,” properly “an instrument for spinning,” from stem of spinnan (see spin (v.)) + instrumental suffix -el (1). Compare handle, thimble, etc.

Related to Old Saxon spinnila, Old Frisian spindel, Old High German spinnila, German Spindel. As a type of something slender, it is attested from 1570s. As with distaff, sometimes formerly used as a metonym for “the female sex,” as in Old English spinelhealf “female line of descent,” distinguished from sperehealf “male line of descent.”

spinelhealf = female
sperehealf = male

__________________________________________________________

weave (v.1)
excerpt
Old English wefan “to weave, form by interlacing yarn,” figuratively “devise, contrive, arrange” (class V strong verb; past tense wæf, past participle wefen), from Proto-Germanic *weban (source also of Old Norse vefa, Middle Low German, Middle Dutch, Dutch weven, Old High German weban, German weben “to weave”), from PIE root *(h)uebh- “to weave;” also “to move quickly” (source also of Sanskrit ubhnati “he laces together,” Persian baftan “to weave,” Greek hyphē, hyphos “web,” Old English webb “web”).

The form of the past tense altered in Middle English from wave to wove. Extended sense of “combine into a whole” is from late 14c.; meaning “go by twisting and turning” is from 1640s. Related: Wove; woven; weaving.

__________________________________________________________

contrive (v.)
excerpt
early 14c., controve, contreve, “to invent, devise, plan;” late 14c., “to manage by a plan or scheme,” from Old French controver (Modern French controuver) “to find out, contrive, imagine,” from Late Latin contropare “to compar” (via a figure of speech), from an assimilated form of Latin com “with, together” (see con-) + tropus “song, musical mode,” from Greek tropos “figure of speech” (from PIE root *trep- “to turn”).

Sense evolution (in French) was from “invent with ingenuity” to “invent falsely.” Spelling in English was altered by the same unexplained 15c. sound change that also affected briar, friar, choir. Related: Contrived; contriving.
