Oxidation vs. Oxygenation

Oxygen is not your enemy! Every organ in your body needs oxygen! So when they advise you to take anti-oxidants it is not to get rid of oxygen. It’s unfortunate that they named the process of losing an electron, “oxidation,” because I think it is misleading. Oxygen is an element capable of causing oxidation, but it is not the culprit inside your body that oxidizes cells and creates free radicals. Free radicals are those loose electrons which create havoc with your cells causing stress and speeding up the aging process.

So according to the experts, you need to ingest anti-oxidants to keep your cells healthy and prevent oxidation. You do not want to stop breathing and stop oxygenation of your cells. Oxygenation is good. Oxidation is bad. Okay, do we have that straight? I hope so!

Ecstasy

Where does the word ecstasy come from? "ec" as a suffix means out. So what is "stasy?"

I am ecstatic! Or should I say, I am euphorious! euphorious always means ecstatically joyous. Ecstasy can mean the extreme of any emotion, not just joy or happiness.

It says in the dictionary that ecstasy is a state of exalted delight, or a state of any emotion so intense that rational thought and self-control are obliterated. It comes from Greek through Latin, meaning to drive out of one's senses.

It also says that exaltation is more elevated than euphoria. Euphoria comes from Greek also.

Exaltation is from Latin, "up high."

Glitch

Glitch. Weird word. Harsh sounds. The opposite of melliflous. What is the opposite of melliflous, anyway?

It means mistake or bug, as in a computer bug, not an insect. It says malfunction or snag in my dictionary. But no etymology. I'll get back to you on that.

If I turn in a report late, I blame it on a computer glitch. They make for convenient excuses.
