I was grilling steak and corn for my spoiled husband and I saw the tail end.

Medina Spirit-winner

Looked up etymology of course, always looking for meaning and
Excerpts

Medina

flight of Muhammad from Mecca to Medina (July 16, 622 C.E.), the event from which the Islamic calendar reckons, 1580s, from Medieval Latin hegira, from Arabic hijrah “departure,” from hajara “to depart.

___________________________________________________________

Spirit

spirit (n.)
mid-13c., “animating or vital principle in man and animals,” from Anglo-French spirit, Old French espirit “spirit, soul” (12c., Modern French esprit) and directly from Latin spiritus “a breathing (respiration, and of the wind), breath; breath of a god,” hence “inspiration; breath of life,” hence “life;” also “disposition, character; high spirit, vigor, courage; pride, arrogance,” related to spirare “to breathe,” perhaps from PIE *(s)peis- “to blow” (source also of Old Church Slavonic pisto “to play on the flute”). But de Vaan says “Possibly an onomatopoeic formation imitating the sound of breathing. There are no direct cognates.”

Medina=to depart

Spirit=Breath, Life

My immediate thought was yeah, Cabal is departing this Life.

Etymology excerpts

Geronimo (interj.)
cry made in jumping, 1944 among U.S. airborne soldiers, apparently from the story of the Apache leader Geronimo making a daring leap to escape U.S. cavalry pursuers at Medicine Bluffs, Oklahoma (and supposedly shouting his name in defiance as he did). Adopted as battle cry by paratroopers in World War II, who perhaps had seen it in the 1939 Paramount Studios movie “Geronimo.” The name is the Italian and Spanish form of Jerome, from Greek Hieronomos, literally “sacred name.” One contemporary source also lists Osceola as a jumping cry.

____________________________________________________________

Jerome
masc. proper name, from French Jérome, from Late Latin Hieronymus, from Greek Hieronymos, literally “holy name,” from hieros “holy” (see ire) + onyma, dialectal form of onoma “name” (from PIE root *no-men- “name”).
