Utterly Amazing

"That's utterly amazing," she uttered. She must have been watching John Weir at the NGH convention. That's what I thought when I saw him demonstate the NLP technique of collapsing anchors under hypnosis at his workshop last weekend!

Utter is a verb, which means to vocalize, express or pronounce; also to put forth or out, send.

Utter is also an adjective, which means absolute, total.

Utterly is an adverb which means extremely, totally.

So how are these related? They all come from Old English, ut, which means out.

Sometimes my blogs are related. For more about John's amazing demonstration, see Verbal Impact (link on upper right).
