Derivation, arrive, arrivieren, arriviert, Arrival (W2)
(E?)(L?) http://www.entspire.com/derivation/derivationstory.asp
"Derivation" is a game about the origins of words and phrases.
"Derivation" centers on words, phrases, quotes, abbreviations (and more) that we use all the time. You'll get "hooked" because consciously or not almost everyone is fascinated about why we say many of the words and phrases that are a part of our everyday banter.
Das engl. "derivation" heisst "Ab-, Herleitung" bzw. "Ursprung", "Herkunft", "Abstammung". Was lag also näher, als einem (englischsprachigen) Spiel, bei dem es um die Herkunft von Wörtern und Zitaten geht, "Derivation" zu nennen.
Leider habe ich noch keine Möglichkeit gefunden, das Spiel in Deutschland zu erhalten.
Das engl. "derivation" leitet sich übrigens direkt aus lat. "derivare" = "(ein Wort von einem anderen) ableiten".
Auch das "Derivat" das u.a. in der Chemie vorkommt und dort eine Verbindung bezeichnet, die aus einer anderen Verbindung entstanden ist, ist ein "Derivat" von "derivare".
Interessant wird es, wenn man sich das gegenteilige Wort engl. "arrive" = "ankommen" ansieht. Hier kann man fast direkt erkennen, dass es von "das Ufer erreichen" kommt (vgl. frz. "rive" = "Ufer"). Hierauf gehen auch, im Deutschen vorhandene, Begriffe wie "arrivieren" = "Karriere machen" ("arriviert" = "erfolgreich") oder das an Flughäfen zu sehende "Arrival" = "Ankunft" zurück.
Demnach heisst "derivation" also eigentlich "vom Ufer ablegen" = "in See stechen".
Wenn Sie also eine Möglichkeit finden, das Spiel zu kaufen, vielleicht bei einem USA-Aufenthalt, dann zögern Sie nicht, nach neuen Ufern zu suchen.
etymologic - word origin game - word definition puzzles - Etymologie-Spiel
(E1)(L1) http://www.etymologic.com/
In this etymology game you'll be presented with 10 randomly selected etymology (word origin) or word definition puzzles to solve; in each case the word or phrase is highlighted in bold, and a number of possible answers will be presented. You need to choose the correct answer to score a point for that question.
Beware! The false answers will often also seem quite plausible, and some of the true answers are hard to believe, but we have documentation!
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the word etymology comes from the Greek word "etumos", which means "real", or "true", and the "-ology" ending indicates that it's the "study of", or "science of". Put them together and you get the "study or science of the real or true". Impressive, eh?

Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style
Exercises in Style is a two-paragraph story retold 99 times, each time in a different "style." These styles in question range from notation to noble, from aphaeresis to syncope to apocope, in alexandrines and as a sonnet.
The singularly pointless tale describes a young man on a bus who is annoyed at another rider. Later, the narrator sees him in the Cour de Rome, where he is informed by a companion that a button on his lapel is too low.
growndodo.com's main page is an homage of sorts to this endeavor; a similar, equally directionless narrative is retold in many styles, incorporating elements more relevant to the contents of this site than Queneau's work.

logology - The science or study of words
(E?)(L?) http://www.wordsmith.org/awad
(E?)(L?) http://www.wordsmith.org/words/logology.wav
[From Greek logos (word) + -logy, from Middle English -logie, from Latin -logia, from Greek logos (word).]
In 1965, Dmitri Borgmann resurrected an old word, logology, and gave it a new meaning of recreational letter play. How appropriate that the word denoting the study of words viewed as letter patterns should itself be of such recreational interest. Logology encompasses two five-letter anchored palindromes -- logol and golog -- and repeats the cluster log.
Logology is a beautifully balanced word:
* It alternates between consonant and vowel throughout.
* In its lower case form, its odd letters alternate between poking their heads above the writing line (the two l's) and dragging their tails below that line (the two g's).
* If you assign a value of 1 to the letter a, 2 to b, and continue up to 26 for z, logology averages 13.5, the perfect midpoint of the alphabet.

Transponym, transponieren (W3)
In einem Beitrag der "ADS" führte ein Teilnehmer (Henry Mullish) den Begriff "Transponym" ein. Dieses spielt auf "transponieren" von lat. "transponere" = versetzen" an und setzt sich zusammen aus "trans" = "hinüber, jenseits" und "ponere" = "setzen, stellen, legen".
Das "onym" in dem abgeleiteten "Transponym" steht allerdings für "Name" (von griech. "onyma" = "Name").
"Transponyme" sind also "versetzte Begriffe". (Nach einem bestimmten Zug im Schachspiel könnte man sie auch "Rochade-Wörter" nennen.) Was der Autor darunter versteht, hat er in einer langen Liste von Beispielen dargestellt.
It is true to say that since the introduction of word processors, the typing of documents has become so much easier and convenient for just about everyone who has the need to communicate by means of the written word.
Most word processors come with a spell checker, thus making the possibility of misspelling a word that much less. But not altogether; it is possible that you may type a word that is incorrect and yet the spell checker finds nothing wrong with it. I am referring to words that contain a "transposition" of two adjacent letters such that the unintended word is also a word – consequently the trusted spell checker lets it slide through, perhaps unnoticed. Take for example the word "nuclear". If the first two letters "nu" are transposed, the new word becomes "unclear", a perfectly good English word.
I have dubbed these pairs of words "transponyms". Just in case you don’t think there are many of them, take a look at the following list which I have developed just over the last week or so. I suspect there must be at least over 200 of such pairs in the English language. I shall be happy to include any that you may discover. Of course, the very same phenomenon may easily occur in other languages too.
In the following list of what I hace called "transponyms", the transpositions can occur anywhere in the word, so long as the
letters are adjacent to each other. The list currently contains 155 pairs of words:
able bale; acne cane; acre care; act cat; add dad; aft fat; ale lea; alter later; am ma; amid maid; amp map; angel angle; any nay; apes apse; apt pat; arid raid; arise raise; arm ram; art rat; asp sap; awn wan; awning warning; awry wary; axel axle; bar bra; bard brad; barn bran; bat tab; beast beats; best bets; beat beta; blot bolt; boast boats; boost boots; brunt burnt; bust buts; calm clam; carp crap; carve crave; cast cats; casual causal; claps clasp; clod cold; clot colt; coast coats; code coed; compiled complied; corps crops; cost cots; crud curd; cups cusp; dairy diary; dart drat; dies ides; discreet discrete; doe ode; does dose; does odes; door odor; ear era; east eats; elan lean; ever veer; evil veil; exist exits; farmer framer; fast fats; feast feats; field filed; filers fliers; files flies; fired fried; fist fits; form from; forth froth; gaol goal; gaps gasp; garb grab; gas sag; gird grid; gore ogre; grist grits; gnu gun; gust guts; hoes hose; infarction infraction; jest jets; just juts; lair liar; lest lets; lair liar; lion loin; lips lisp; lore role; lost lots; mantel mantle; marital martial; mast mats; mien mine; mist mits; most mots; nest nets; no on; noes nose; nuclear unclear; ones noes; opt pot; option potion; orb rob; owe woe; own won; past pats; pate tape; perfect prefect; pest pets; piles plies; ploy poly; polo pool; post pots; quiet quite; rasp raps; rat tar; regarding regrading; retired retried; roost roots; rote tone; run urn; rust ruts; sacred scared; salt slat; salve slave; sap spa; silt slit; silver sliver; spilt split; steel stele; sue use; tarp trap; tear tera; there three; tide tied; tier tire; tired tried; tort trot; tow two; trail trial; used sued; vast vats; vest vets; warp wrap; west wets; wist wits; worst worts; wrist writs;
