askance (W3)
Die Herkunft des seit 1530 auftretende engl. "askance" = "von der Seite", "seitlich", "seitwärts" und im übertragenen Sinn "verstohlen (anschauen)" "schief", "scheel", "mißtrauisch" ist nicht ganz geklärt. Möglich wäre ein Zusammenhang mit "askew" = "schief", "schräg".
Eine andere Möglichkeit ist eine Zusammensetzung von mengl. "ase" = "as" = "wie", altfrz. "quanses" = "how if", lat. "quam" = "wie" und "si" = "falls".
Eine dritte Variante führt über altfrz. "escone" = "versteckt".
Und schließlich gibt es Hinweise auf ital. "scancio" = "schräg", "schräg".

Endonym, exonym
(E?)(L?) http://www.ngi.be/NL/glossary/glossang-de.htm
"Endonym" = "innerhalb des Namens" is defined as
"Name of a geographical feature in one of the languages occurring in that area where the feature is situated.
Examples: "V_r_nas_" (not "Benares"); "Aachen" (not "Aix-la-Chapelle"); "Krung Thep" (not "Bangkok"); "al-Uq_ur" (not "Luxor"); "Teverya" (not "Tiberias").
Other examples are:
"Moscow" is "Moskva", pronounced "muhsk-VAH" or "mahsk-VAH". "Moscow" therefore is an exonym, a useful term that has appeared in various monographs on language (incluing William Safire's column in _The New York Times_).
In "Crazy English" (1989), wordsmith Richard Lederer defines "exonym" (= "ausserhalb des Namens") as "a place name that foreigners use instead of the name that natives use: "Cologne" for "Köln", "Florence" for "Firenze", "Morocco" for "Maroc"."

Kent - Kent place names - There's a story behind every place...
(E1)(L1) http://www.bbc.co.uk/kent/places/names/index.shtml
(E?)(L1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent
Do you know the origins of the town or village where you live? Well, the names themselves can tell us much about the earliest settlements in our county.
"Kent" itself is an ancient Celtic name, first recorded in 51 BC in the Latinised form of "Cantium". The most likely interpretation is probably "coastal region", although "land of the armies" has also been suggested.

Shivering Mountain (W3)
Der zitternde Berg in Mittelengland besteht aus verschiednenen Gesteinsschichten und bröckelt langsam auseinander.
(E1)(L1) http://www.bartleby.com/81/15274.html
Mam Tor, a hill on the Peak of Derbyshire; so called from the waste of its mass by "shivering" — that is, breaking away in "shivers" or small pieces. This shivering has been going on for ages, as the hill consists of alternate layers of shale and gritstone. The former, being soft, is easily reduced to powder, and, as it crumbles away, small "shivers" of the gritstone break away from want of support. 1

A List of the Latin Names of Places in Great Britain and Ireland
(E?)(L?) http://comp.uark.edu/~mreynold/recint2.htm
ubiquitous (W3)
Engl. "ubiquitous" = "seeming to be everywhere" geht zurück auf lat. "ubique" = "überall".
Das lat. "ubique" ist eine Zusammensetzung von lat. "ubi" = "wo" und "-que" = "und" und dem Adjektiv-Suffix "-ous".
Über das ide. "*kwo-" = "wo", "wann", "wer" und ide. "*kwo-bhi-" = "welches" hängt dt. "wo" mit lat. "ubi" und lat. "ibi" = "da", "dort" und engl. "where" zusammen. Ausserdem gibt es den Abkömmling "cubi" in lat. "alicubi" = "irgendwo".
Die Wurzel ide. "*kwo-" lieferte auch engl. "who", dt. "wer" und russ. "kto" = "wer".
Alle lateinischen Pronomen mit "qu-" gehen auf die selbe Quelle zurück.

ubiquity (W3)
Das engl. "ubiquity" taucht 1579 als Übernahme von frz. "ubiquité" auf und basiert auf lat. "ubique" = "überall" einer Zusammensetzung von lat. "ubi" = "wo" und "que" = "irgendein", "auch", "Immer".
Ausgehend von der lutherischen Lehre der Omnipräsenz Christi ging "ubiquity" in den allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch über (1837) - wobei "Ubiquität" im Deutschen nicht "allgegenwärtig" ist.
