DID YOU KNOW?

_CHALLENGE

This word has travelled, via Old English 'calenge', Old French 'calonge' from

Latin 'columnia', false accusation. The original sense remains in the

English 'calumny'; but with the shifting forms came a shifting

meaning. The first use in English was an accusation; but

since the old way of answering an accusation was

to fight a duel, to accuse was the same

as to summon to combat, to challenge.
