appoint (v.)

late 14c., "to decide, resolve; to arrange the time of (a meeting, etc.)," from Anglo-French appointer, […]

The etymological sense is "to come to a point" (about some matter), therefore "agree, settle."

Dissapointed becomes then something like "unresolved". Interesting

https://www.youtube.com/@MarkPassio He leverages etymology and digging into word meetings quite a bit throughout his work. My favorite observation of his, or whoever he learned it from: "Government" = Govern + ment, as in mentis, mind. Govern mind = mind control. (!!) 🤣

Didn’t know. This is very interesting and thinking about it not at all surprising 😂

A former priest of the church of Satan.

Been embedded in occultism for a long time, where the meaning of words and etymology have special purpose and use in rituals.

Thanks. I didn’t know they’re so keen on etymology
