stereo-typical

Define words.
words are mainly used as a medium to communicate ideas/events/actions/emotions/phenomena.
if you can define it, you can assign a word to it.
many words are made up of preexisting words, usually stolen from ancient languages.
Medical vocabulary is mainly just a collection of literal descriptions of the action or of the appearance of the abnormality or procedure in latin. idiopathic, lymphoma, emphysema, mydriasis.
Mydriasis simply means an excessive dilation of the eye. Dilation means becoming wider by increasing the radius of a circle. Radius means the distance between the centre and edge of a circle. A circle is a round plane figure whose boundary (the circumference) consists of points equidistant from a fixed center.Words are just vessels which contained condensed meanings. These meanings are so commonly referred to that their abbreviations are also widely understood.
Why is it that the simpler a word is, the more difficult it is to define it in words?
If someone asked you what an eye is, you could either point to your eye and say 'this thing' or say 'an organ of the body.' or you could continue 'which is spherical and is involved in sensing light and images and feeding it to the central nervous system in the brain.'
so many meanings share the same word. For instance break can mean a separation of a singular piece into two or more pieces, or an interruption in continuity or a change in activity from a more strenuous one to a more restful one after which one intends to resume the strenuous activity. There are words that are specific to each meaning I'm sure, but break can be used, depending on the context, to communicate all three.
If the way we create words is by recycling others then how did the first words come about? how did they decide which sounds to use? how many syllables to have? which intonations to assign? why did the protogermanic people decide to call the moon mǣnōn and chinese people,Yuè. Also why do japanese people pronounce the same chinese character Tsuki?
Irony is another interesting word. Loan words, from other languages when there is no modern equivalent.

mindset of the creator - constantly dreaming and wondering how to make it a reality.
the logistics and details of making something out of nothing. The putting together of individual parts to make something greater

Very practical and grounded. Perfect for dreamers.

perhaps words are just an assemblage of sounds representing a fact or concept or emotion or a combination of the three. an eccentric analogy - the most basic of metaphors. spinning worlds out of thin air
