I've already blogged about the origin of Valentine's Day and it would be interesting if we knew the origin of the words that make the day so special. Below is a special from hotforwords on the O'Reilly Factor Show:
So it seems passion comes from the latin pati which means to suffer. It is also the word where patience comes from. It's no wonder why so people think that love hurts! Also the word infatuated comes from the word fatuus which means foolish. So aptly it describes the behaviour of people when they are in love.
In any case, let me wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
