iodine, whence the nn iodate and iodide (Chem suffixes -ate and -ide) and the adj iodic (suffix
-ic); cf the element iodo-.-Viola, violaceous, violet.
1. Iodine is an E chem (-ine) elaboration of F iode, iodine: Gr adj iodēs, of the form
(eidos) of, i.e. like, a violet; ion, for *wion, app of Medit stock.
2. Akin to Gr ion, *wion, is L uiola, ML viola, a violet (plant and flower), whence the
girl’s name Viola. Its adj uiolāceus, ML vi-, yields E violaceous. ML viola becomes OFF
viole, with OF-MF dim violete (F violette), whence E violet.

vis, as in vis comica; vim; virial.-violable (neg inviolable), violate, violation, violator,
violence, violent
1. Vim, energy, is adopted from the acc of ML vīs, L uīs, strength, esp as exercised
against someone, hence violence; the ML vīs occurs in vis comica, the comic spirit. The L
pl is uīrēs, with s uīr-, whence G Virial, the E virial of Phys. L uīs is akin to the approx
syn Homeric Gr īs, for *wīs, and Skt váyas. The IE r is *wī-, strength, vigour.
2. The IE r *wī-, L uī-, occurs in L uiolāre, to force, to do violence to, hence esp to
rape (a woman). Derivative uiolābilis and its LL neg inuiolābilis yield E violable and
inviolable, with inviolability deriving from LL inuiolābilitās. From the pp uiolātus come
E ‘to violate’ and the archaic adj violate (neg inviolate), and also L uiolātiō (acc
uiolātiōnem) and L uiolātor, whence MF-F violation, adopted by E, and MF-F violateur,
whence-unless straight from L-the E violator.
3. Also from the L r uī- comes L uiolentus (adj suffix -olentus), whence uiolentia:
thence, via MF-F, the E violent and violence.

fiddle (n hence v, whence pa and vn fiddling); fiddler (Fiddler’s Green); fiddle-de-dee;
fiddlesticks,-vielle, viol, viola, violin, violinist, violoncello (abbr ’cello), violoncellist
1. ‘To fiddle’, in all senses, derives from the modern n; fiddler, OE fithelere, derives
from the OE form of the n: fithele (ME fithele, later fidele). OE fithele prob comes from
ML fidula; but ME fidel(e), prob from the ML var fidella; ML fidusa and fidella are
dimm (cf L fidicula) of L fidēs, fidīl, lyre or guitar, b/f of pl fidēs, the strings of a lyre,
itself o.o.o.; the derivation from VL-ML vituh, a fiddle, from L Uitula, ML Vitula,
Goddess of Exultation or Victory (whence uitulari, to sing or rejoice), is ingenious but far
less prob. (The goddess’s name is perh Sabine: E & M.)
2. Fiddler’s Green is the sailor’s paradise, with junketing to tunes on the fiddle; fiddlede-
dee! comes from the n fiddle, perh ref tuning-up thereon; fiddlesticks! comes from
fiddlestick, the bow, so much less valuable than the fiddle itself.
3. Vielle, a large medieval viol, is adopted from F, of imm Gmc origin but ult from L
uitula, ML vitula (as in para 1); viol derives from ME vyell, from OF-F vielle, perh
influenced by OProv viola; E viola is adopted from It vīòla, itself adopted from OProv
viola, prob, like OF-F vielle, imm of Gmc origin.
4. It viola has dim vīolino, whence (late MF-F violon and) E violin; derivative It
vīolinista has suggested E violinist.
5. It vīòla has also the aug vīolone, a double-bass viol, a term adopted by E; and It
vīolone has dim vīoloncello, likewise adopted by E, which, in violoncellist, prob reshapes
derivative It vīoloncellista. E violoncello, violoncellist, have aphetic derivatives ’cello,’
cellist.
