Yellow Varieties

Welcome to this the sixth entry in Cool Colours. Yellow is wonderful and represents rather a unique case in this series' exploration. To look at the word at first glance, you would be forgiven for thinking that our word yellow has no links to Latin whatsoever. You would be both right and wrong, however. There is a link and a rather neat and unusual one. The word yellow is more closely connected to German 'gelb'. But it doesn't look like that either, you say. So, here is a brief glimpse at this lovely colour name's history. It stems primarily from the early German word 'gelwaz', to which the Italian 'giallo' is also related. Both stem ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European (henceforth PIE) word 'ghel-' which meant 'to shine'. Now PIE, is now widely believed to have been an early, now extinct language, from which most European languages and Sanskrit were all born. Now, here comes the Latin link. Latin is also descended from PIE and its word for pale yellow, helvus, comes from the same parent stem as German 'gelb'. So, it is linked to the word, it is just a relative that evolved slightly differently. Also, if you read the Latin helvus, pronouncing the 'v' as a 'w' (as many argue it should be) the connection with our 'yellow' becomes clearer.

Our trip through the colour yellow does not stop there. I have three further Classical terms for yellow for you that bequeathed us words in English. Let us start with Latin.

Have you ever read that you should get more of the vitamin Riboflavin (B2) in your diet? Well, the 'flavin' part of the word comes from the Latin flavus, meaning 'yellow', often a golden or reddish shade of yellow. 'What's a vitamin got to do with 'yellow'?' ,you ask. Well, the flavins are a group of organic compounds, from which Riboflavin is derived, and their colour is, you've got it, YELLOW. They are very important to life. So green might be life, but it appears yellow is, too.

Could your hair be described as 'fulvous'? No, it does not mean it is voluminous (full-vous, get it? Never mind). Again, this rather old-fashioned and probably forgotten word comes from another Latin word for 'yellow', this time fulvus, which denotes a brownish, tawny yellow. It was often used to describe lions.

Lastly, can I ask you if your daffodils betray a xanthic hue? So, we head over to the ancient Greeks for our penultimate yellow word of today. The Greek word ξανθος (xanthos) could denote hair that was blonde or even auburn, so again it can denote a reddish gold.

Crocus is our final shade today. Now, we see crocuses that are pink, blue, and yellow, but Greek word (κροκος) originally referred to the saffron plant, which yields a famous rich yellow colouring. There is even rather a sweet instance of it being used in a Greek text to describe the colour of egg-yolks.

The bright, cheerful colour yellow therefore, not only has a great etymological (i.e. word family) history, but it also has many different variations in Classical terms. EGG-sellent! Okay, there's a reason I'm a classicist not a comedian. I hope you enjoyed this instalment. See you on the next one.

Did you know that Bugs Bunny was modeled after Clark Gable’s character stood by a fence chomping carrots, with his mouth full, in the 1934 film “It Happened One Night?” And it is said that Mel Blanc, the original voice of Bugs Bunny, didn’t like carrots! Funny, because researchers have found that rabbits in the wild will eat sweet carrots but actually prefer the leafy greens on the top better. In @hminutritionschool, we learn that those greens and their B2, Riboflavin, not only help people stay calm, maintain a healthy nervous system, support adrenal function and facilitate key metabolic processes but also are instrumental in Acetylation in the Phase II liver detox pathway. Carrots also promote healthy vision, aid in weight loss, and improve skin health, immunity and digestive health. And not only is the root edible but also the leaves as pesto, the flowers for salads or jelly and the seeds to flavor foods! Carrots are also an excellent source of Vitamin A and Beta-carotene, source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin K, are high in fiber, and are great energy boosters. Even though they are 88% water, it is said that one carrot gives enough energy for a mile walk! And it’s a fact that the nutritional value of carrots changes during the cooking process. Raw carrots in juices or steamed are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. But cooking carrots releases more beta-carotene, around 40%, which gives the yellow-orange pigment that becomes Vitamin A, which helps your eyes, immunity and skin. Unfortunately, according to a 2010 study, 4% of Europeans suffer from carrot allergies which include a sore throat, swollen lips and tongue, and itching on the mouth and ears. For more fun info on carrots check out the “Healthy Trivia” reel in a previous post! 💚 Julie https://www.instagram.com/p/CnSIpJOuckR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A drop in milk production is not only a threat to the farmers’ income but also a threat to nutritional security of the state. Milk is an ideal food for infants and children and a good supplementary food for adults, a source of good quality protein, calcium, riboflavin and other nutrients but deficient in Vitamin C and iron. Along the whole economic value chain dependent on cattle trade, the people who worked as tallow merchants, cleaners, loaders, tempo drivers, shop workers, roadside vendors, eateries and those in the slaughterhouses have lost jobs and have not received any form of support from the government even for basic livelihood.

What Are The Health Benefits Of Eggs?

One large whole egg - 0g Sugar,6g Protein, 200mg Omega-3 Fatty Acids, 11% Vitamin A, 12% Vitamin E, 13% Zinc, 16% Selenium. 1/2 of the RDA Calcium & Iron. It's also a natural whole food with Lutein and Zeaxanthin for eye protection. Plus, it works well in cooking because it promotes browning which is what makes bread and other items crispy on the outside while remaining moist on the inside. It's also inexpensive if you find them bulk or straight from farm to table at your local farmer's market!
