People always out here yelling "reported" when I'm like "so who the fuck was the first to ported?"
The "port" in "report" comes from the meaning "to carry," so I guess the first person to ever receive information that they intended to relay to someone else was the first to port.
This guy etymologizes
Thank goodness. It would seriously bug me if you said he entomologyzes.
Now This guy entomologyzes.
Other comment is amusing, but to my understanding, the actual answer is that the prefix "re-" has different connotations in the original Latin. Over time, it got streamlined in English into just meaning "again," but originally, it carried the connotation of returning, of turning back. You can kinda see how repeating an action could be viewed as similar in concept to the concept of turning back (for instance, if you need to redo something, you need to turn back and start over).
So to port means to carry something somewhere, and to report means to carry something back, like a scout returning to base with information.
Except in this case, we're the scouts, the mods are the base, and the information is Alabaman egg
Okay but who's Pete and what do I have to carry back to him?
