I was sitting at home last night reading my book which is Angels and Demons by Dan Brown the bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code,when i came across a very interesting fact.it was describing a killer who was working for the illuminati (secret brotherhood) The killers ancestors date back to the eleventh century when the christian crusading armies had first pillaged the muslim world raping and killing declaring them unclean defiling their temples and gods.They had formed a small but deadly army to defend themselves.The army became famous across the land as protectors-skilled executioners who wandered the countryside slaughtering any of the enemy they could find.They were renowned not only for their brutal killings,but also for celebrating their slayings by plunging themselves into drug-induced stupors.Their drug of choice was a potent intoxicant they called hashish.

As their notoriety spread these lethal men became known by a single word-Hassassin-literally ‘the followers of hashish’.The name Hassassin became synonymous with death in almost every language on the earth.The word is still used today,even in modern English….but like the craft of killing,the word has evolved.It is now pronounced assassin.

I wasn’t sure if this was true so i looked it up in a book i have which explains origins of words.Sure enough there it was.

If anyone out there has any interesting word origins I’d love to hear them

Until the next time
