I can't believe I JUST noticed this.
Theo-rizing. or more so... Theo-ry
God's place.

the·o·ry:

"from Gk. theoria "contemplation, speculation, a looking at, things looked at," from theorein "to consider, speculate, look at," from theoros "spectator," from thea "a view" + horan "to see." Sense of "principles or methods of a science or art (rather than its practice)" is first recorded 1613. That of "an explanation based on observation and reasoning" is from 1638."

That holds the same way "Chaos" now means "random"

It's roots were retranslated to form our modern use of the word.

BTW, Chaos means "gaping hole"



"ory" means place of/for.

"Theo" means God.

This can be supposed into "God's position" or "from an outside view" or whatever. But doing so is the same as saying the World was created in 6 days (yom). It is only a translation that is allowable in itself, but does not make sense given it's context.

IOW: One can say Theory means "an outside position" but it's roots are STILL "God" and "place of"

Just like "Truth" in Yiddish is "Life" and "Death" next to each other.
