Ancient Greek word ΣΑΣΤΗΡ (sastēr)
From 1890 to 1899, in pieces, a white marble slab was found by archaeologists in the ruins of an Ancient Greek colony Chersonesus, Greek Χερσόνησος (Khersónēsos), on the Crimean Peninsula, established in the 6th century BC. The slab (photo) was inscribed with a text in Ancient Greek being the civic oath of the Chersonesites (citizens of Chersonesus): description, Ancient Greek text and English translation. The text is thought to be inscribed in the beginning of the 3rd century BC.
Among the understandable oaths (“I will not betray anything to anyone, neither a Hellenic nor a barbarian,” “I will not violate democracy,” “I will not plot a conspiracy,” “I will be an enemy to malefactors”) there is one: “I will protect the saster (ΣΑΣΤΗΡ) for the people» (και τον σαστηρα τωι δαμωι διαφυλαξω, lines 24–25).
This word is not found in any other Greek text of the Old or New time. The literature on saster is extensive. There are many hypotheses, including some very eccentric ones. Max Fasmer and Lev Yelnitsky, for example, believed that the saster was the Scythian governor of Chersonesos, S. A. Zhebelev — that it was some kind of sacred object, for example an idol; V.V. Latyshev (the first publisher of the inscription) — that this is a kind of legal concept, for example, a civil oath. Most recently, I. Markov argues it is the city treasury. Parallels were sought for this word in Iranian and other languages. Historical novels appeared, which featured the sacred saster towering over the Chersonesus coast; in Sevastopol, a modern city situated near the ancient Chersonesus, a festival called «Saster of Chersonesos» was held. On the Internet, you can listen to a song with the words «And I will find a magic saster» (with an emphasis on «a») and read verses with the line «An unknown saster hiding from us» (with an emphasis on «e»).
No one knows for sure what ΣΑΣΤΗΡ is.

How you’ve heard it: «We created miles of new bike lanes to appease cycling activists.»

How you’ve heard it: «Another zombie movie?! These films are so banal.»
What it means: Sometimes people use «banal» to mean «boring,» but it’s a bit more complex than that. «Banal» means that something—say, a movie or a TV show—is so uninspired and derivative that, even if you’ve never seen it before, you’ll feel like you already have.
How you’ve heard it: «A bemused expression came over his face when I asked if he knew what ‘banal’ meant.»
What it means: No, this is not a fancy way of saying «amused.» It means puzzled, confused, or bewildered. And for words you might be saying wrong, discover 23 Words You Need to Stop Mispronouncing.

What it means: A deeply genuine, honest nature.
How you’ve heard it: «I suffer from chronic lower back pain.»
What it means: In context, you might think «chronic» means severe. But in reality, it means that something—generally, an illness or condition—is recurring. And for words that sound different depending on where you are, check out these 50 Words People Pronounce Differently Across America.
How you’ve heard it: «I loved her first album, but her second one just feels so contrived.»
What it means: Phony, fake, a total sham. «Contrived» is usually used to describe a piece of creative expression as forced.
How you’ve heard it: «These 50 words are commonly heard in colloquial language.»
What it means: «Colloquial» refers to language that is used in an ordinary or informal way, rather than formal. For instance, most people call the third Monday in February (an American holiday) by its colloquial term, «Presidents Day,» when it’s actually still officially titled «Washington’s Birthday.» («Colloquial» can also mean, simply, «conversational.») And for more fun content delivered straight to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter.
How you’ve heard it: «After going under oath, I’ll be compelled to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.»
What it means: To be forced to do something, whether you want to or not. Often, people misuse this word to mean they’re «feeling strongly» about something.
How you’ve heard it: «It’s 20 miles to the next gas station, but we only have 15 miles left in the tank. This is quite the conundrum we’re in!»
What it means: «Conundrum» is used to describe a confusing or difficult problem, question, or riddle—more often than not, it’s somewhat of a catch-22.
How you’ve heard it: «The student showed a deferential attitude toward her teacher.»
What it means: «Deferential» is an adjective that means «showing or expressing respect,» especially in regards to a superior or elder. However, many people tend to confuse this word with the similar-sounding adjective, «differential,» which is used to describe the difference between two or more things. Make sure to check your auto-correct for this one; while the words might look similar, their meanings have nothing in common.
How you’ve heard it: «Rocky Horror Picture Show is a cult classic.»
What it means: As in, a «cult following» or a «cult favorite,» the word refers to a movie, book, band, TV show, video game, or other form of media that has a small but extremely passionate fanbase. However, people often misuse it to refer to a project with a massive, passionate fanbase, like Star Wars or Game of Thrones. (Neither are «cult» classics, folks.)
How you’ve heard it: «When she was offered a big promotion at her current company and an entirely new job elsewhere, Kate was faced with quite the dilemma.»
What it means: While often incorrectly used to describe any problem, the word’s correct usage refers to a difficult problem that offers two (usually both unfavorable) possibilities for an outcome. After all, the prefix «di» literally means «two.»
How you’ve heard it: «The world is so unfair it makes me feel like we’re living in some kind of dystopia.»
What it means: A «dystopia» is state or society with great injustice and suffering. Generally, it pops up in futuristic science fiction novels, like The Hunger Games and 1984.
How you’ve heard it: «Come on, that’s an egregious error.»
What it means: In today’s society, «egregious» means something remarkably bad or shocking. It used to mean the complete opposite—referring to something that was remarkable in a good way. However, people began to use the word ironically so often, its meaning started to take on a negative connotation.
How you’ve heard it: «She’s a millennial, so she’s very entitled.»
What it means: Having, or believing one has, the right to something. People use «entitled» to mean «privileged,» and that’s accurate. But they also use it when they should just be using the word «titled» to describe the name of a TV series, podcast title, etc.—as in, the seventh Star Wars movie is titled The Force Awakens, not entitled The Force Awakens.
How you’ve heard it: «I’m empathetic to what she’s going through.»
What it means: «Empathy» and «sympathy» are often conflated, when they are, in fact, different. To «sympathize» means to feel pity or sadness for someone else’s experience. But to «empathize» means to understand what they’re going through on a personal level.
How you’ve heard it: «She was the epitome of elegance and grace.»
What it means: «Epitome» is defined as «a typical or ideal example» of a type or quality—which means it is the very best illustration of the word that follows it.
How you’ve heard it: «My regard for you is exponentially increasing.»
What it means: Lifted from math, «exponential» refers to something that continues to grow at an increasingly rapid rate.
How you’ve heard it: «I’m having an existential crisis.»
What it means: This simply means «of, relating to, or affirming existence.» It’s often used by philosophically-minded individuals to indicate they are having an issue with something on a theoretical level.
How you’ve heard it: «I meant that facetiously.»
What it means: This means to treat an important issue in a flippant or humorous manner. It’s often meant in a negative way, as it indicates the matter requires a greater level of seriousness.
How you’ve heard it: «How fortuitous it was for us to meet on the street like that!»
What it means: People often think «fortuitous» means «lucky» because of its similarity to the word «fortune.» But it actually just means «by chance,» and can be used in a positive or negative way.
How you’ve heard it: «That’s a hot-button issue.»
What it means: This is often used to refer to scenarios that are very politically- or emotionally-charged. A «hot-button issue» tends to inspire strong emotions from either side.
How you’ve heard it: «Are we going to impeach the president?»
What it means: In theory, «impeach» means to «cast doubt on» someone or something, but we almost always use it in its practical sense: to remove someone from an elected office.
How you’ve heard it: «The north and south sides of the city are totally incongruous.»
What it means: Lacking harmony, or inconsistent with itself.
How you’ve heard it: «You better not put that plastic cup near the open flame. It’s highly inflammable.»
What it means: Though you may have imagined otherwise, this word doesn’t mean «incapable of catching fire.» Unlike «bemused» and «amused,» this is a case where two words with different prefixes do mean the same thing. Both «flammable» and «inflammable» refer to something that’s capable of catching fire.
How you’ve heard it: «John McEnroe is infamous for his aggressive behavior on the tennis court.»
What it means: «Infamous» means notorious, as in well-known for a bad reason. However, people tend to use it the same as they do the word «famous,» which is incorrect.
How you’ve heard it: «How ironic that an off-duty police officer ran someone over with their vehicle.»
What it means: Due to Alanis Morissette’s 1995 hit song «Ironic,» people assume this word describes an unfortunate situation. But it just refers to something that happens in the opposite way of what’s expected.
How you’ve heard it: «My doctor used so much medical jargon, I could hardly understand him.»
What it means: The words and phrases used by members of a particular profession that are difficult for outsiders to understand. So, if you want to keep your speech simple and accessible, you should avoid jargon at all costs.
How you’ve heard it: «In New York City, you can order food literally right to your door at 3 a.m.»
What it means: In a literal manner or sense; «precisely» or «exactly» are synonyms. However, people tend to use it to mean «figuratively,» when, in fact, that’s literally the exact opposite of its meaning.
How you’ve heard it: «The doctor gave me some painkillers to help mitigate my headache.»
What it means: To reduce the force or intensity of something, often in regard to harshness, grief, pain, or risk.
How you’ve heard it: «Her story doesn’t have even a modicum of truth.»
What it means: A small amount.
How you’ve heard it: «That’s a completely moot point.»
What it means: Subject to debate, dispute, or uncertainty, and typically not admitting of a final decision.
How you’ve heard it: «Jack had a myriad of ideas that he presented at the meeting.»
What it means: Countless or extremely high in number.
How you’ve heard it: «I have to take out the trash—that smell is nauseous.»
What it means: Nausea-inducing. This is an adjective used to describe something that makes you sick, not a way to say you’re feeling sick. If you say you’re nauseous, you’re making someone else sick—and that’s probably not what you mean. The word you’re looking for is «nauseated,» as in you’re about to throw up.
How you’ve heard it: «The reporter really captured the nuance of her story.»
What it means: A subtle quality, distinction, or variation.
How you’ve heard it: «It is a paradox that you sometimes need to be cruel to be kind.»
What it means: A statement that is seemingly contradictory but in reality, expresses a possible truth; it could also refer to a person, situation, action, or thing that has contradictory qualities.
How you’ve heard it: «He has a penchant for falling for bad boys.»
What it means: A strong tendency toward something, or to display a habitual liking for something.
How you’ve heard it: «She finished the assignment in a perfunctory manner.»
What it means: If you do something in a perfunctory manner, it means that you are doing so in a routine or mechanical way that lacks a certain enthusiasm or interest in the particular activity. (Hey, at least you get it done on time, though!)
How you’ve heard it: «I perused the article you sent me, but I don’t agree with that argument about healthcare.»
What it means: Sometimes people think «peruse» means «skim.» Not so. It actually means to read thoroughly or examine at length.
How you’ve heard it: «The plethora of dating sites out there make it so challenging to know where to begin.»
What it means: Though «plethora» is often misused as «a lot of» something in a favorable way, it means «too much» of something… in a non-favorable way.
How you’ve heard it: «In the state of West Virginia, coal mining has practically become an obsolete industry.»
What it means: «Obsolete» is an adjective for something that is no longer current.
How you’ve heard it: «Some would say that a ‘deafening silence’ is an oxymoron.»
What it means: An «oxymoron» is a combination of contradictory or incongruous (remember that one?) words, such as «cruel kindness» and «heavy lightness.»
How you’ve heard it: «You don’t need to call circles ’round.’ That’s redundant.»
What it means: People assume «redundant» means «repetitive,» but it actually refers to a word or phrase that doesn’t add anything to the conversation—because that point has already been made in another way.
How you’ve heard it: «She was quick to point out the stark differences between our careers.»
What it means: The most common use of «stark»—outside of Game of Thrones, that is—is simply «sharply delineated.» Though it can also mean «barren,» «sheer,» «robust,» or «rigidly conforming.»
How you’ve heard it: «That ruling was a travesty.»
What it means: People often use «travesty» and «tragedy» interchangeably, but «travesty» actually means «a debased, distorted, or grossly inferior imitation» of something else.
How you’ve heard it: «This beef stew just hits you with that delicious umami.»
What it means: «Umami» is one of the basic tastes (the others are sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness). It’s essentially synonymous with the word savory.
How you’ve heard it: «If you knew the definition of every word on this list, then you must have an impressive grasp on the English vernacular.»
What it means: If you’re dialed into the lingo of your home country, then it’s likely that you are familiar with the country’s vernacular, or common tongue.
Day 3 of Write Yourself Alive
For Day 3 of Write Yourself Alive, we were to invent a new word and define it. Having studied Latin, Ancient Greek, and Old Norse in college, and also having been somewhat of a Tolkien nerd at one point or another in my life, I’ve done my fair share of inventing words and using them regularly in conversation.
So instead of just throwing another word haphazardly together (the best invented words are those that come naturally… like those that Snoop Dogg and Fergie have added to our vocabularies over the years), I decided to take a slightly different approach. Here is “The Secret Word That No One Knows”:
There are one million, twenty five thousand,
one hundred and nine words in the
English language. I’ve searched them all,
traced every one back to their roots.
French, Latin, German, and Saxon.
I swear I’ve tired my eyes in endless
volumes of dusty old texts trying to
find that one single word to say,
trying to find the right string of
syllables and sounds that define
what you are to me, that describe
how I feel when you walk into a
room and all else melts away.
And I swear to you the right word
never came so I made it my mission
to construct a secret language with
only one word — the most beautiful
word that ever existed — so beautiful
that if spoken you’d fall into a trance
you could never break but only with
a kiss from the one whose lips it
was spoken. What a world it would
be if we both let that word fall
from our lips at precisely the same
moment, with eyes locked and arms
wrapped tight around each other.
For once and for always the world
would finally melt away, and only
we would exist, endlessly paralyzed
by the beauty of that word, forever
frozen by our love for each other,
our lips yearning for the others’ for
eternity, only inches from release
yet trapped in that passionate moment
we lost so long ago…
