Have you ever said a words out loud and then wondered about why it is called that from the moment it leaves your lips?

Well I had a moment like that today.

I couldn't help but wonder where the word MUSCLE came from, so I went and looked it up;

It turns out that the word muscle is rooted in Latin and translates directly to “little mouse”.

Can you imagine walking into a gym and telling a guy, "HEY... Looking Good, Your little Mice Are Buff Hey!!""

Here are a few others that popped under my attention in the process:

• Mortgage directly translates to “death pledge”

• Lunatic uses the Latin word 'luna' meaning “moon”, because it was believed that insanity was caused by moon-changes in some.

• Curfew is taken from the French “couvrir” and “feu” translating to “cover fire”.
