Neither had Tom and I though, I just thought it should be doable to come up with the word, assuming that it was English (hence why I did not appreciate some of Tower's rounds). And Tom did so.
Seems like the noun usage was only invented last century, though. The noun usage doesn't exist in Dutch at all yet, as far as I know.
Means by which 1530's, from where + withal. The noun is first recorded 1809. Yep I did misread it. 19th century which is 2 centuries ago.
Code: E N L I G H T E N E D I thought someone would get it... the structure of the word was evident too quickly. And yes, it seems like your professor has not yet been enlightened.
The context is a conversation of some length in the MoreMoople Discord plus a dm or two, so I'm afraid you'll remain curious until it fades away. (unless Rhy would like to provide a summary )
