Mysteries of vernacular Noise Jessica Oreck

mr. is a vernacular noise any sound or

combination of sounds to understand the

etymology of noise we must begin with

the Greek word Norse meaning ship in

Latin nor spawn two new words novice

which also refer to a single ship and in

turn gave rise to words like naval and

navigate and nausea which meant quite

literally ship sickness nauseas

acceptance into english eventually took

two forms the first in the 16th century

maintained its spelling and most of its

meaning referring to all forms of

stomach turbulence ocean related or not

the second addition to the english

dictionary was a transmutation from

latin through old french as this

transformation occurred nauseas meanings

shifted to encompass a more general

sense of discomfort and its spelling

changed to noise from this of course

comes the modern word noise which was

gradually modified from a definition

associated with discomfort into one

denoting an undesirable sound

eventually becoming an umbrella term for

everything auditory upsetting or not
