We had to fall over backwards to explain that the actions and beliefs of terrorists aren't representative of Muslims and Islam, meanwhile the majority of mainstream Jewish institutions will out and out support the mistreatment of Palestinians simply for being Palestinian and it's "hateful" to call them on it

Are you feeling CERULEAN or are you LIVID?

Welcome to Cool Colours (with a Classics flavour) entry III. You have probably already guessed that these words come from ancient words denoting colours, in this case shades of blue.

Cerulean denotes a sky-blue. However, its ancient parent word could refer to a sky-blue, or a shade darker, even a blue-green. It comes from the lovely Latin adjective caeruleus, which may be connected to the Latin word for heaven or sky, caelum. A beautiful reference that uses the word in ancient literature can be found in Virgil's stunning poem about farming, The Georgics. Virgil describes one of the zones of the sky as 'rigid with blue ice (caerulea glacie)'.

Lividus, the parent word of 'livid' also denotes a shade of blue, but a much darker blue-black. One can see how it has come to become a virtual synonym for 'angry'. The original Latin adjective also carries negative connotations, but of being spiteful and malicious.

Now I have not a coronet in tonight's final hue (sorry, mad Sherlock Holmes fan), but it is a word I am fond of, namely Beryl, a pale green or blue, deriving via Latin beryllus from Greek βήρυλλος (beryllos). In a tragi-comic elegy, poet Propertius imagines the ghost of lover Cynthia visiting him, still wearing her beryl ring. Any keen chemists reading this will spot the connection to the element beryllium.

Despite the many Greek and Latin words that adorn our sweet language of English, English is actually a Germanic language. The word 'blue' finds its origins in blau.

So if you are blue with cold, you are feeling cerulean or feeling cross, you are LIVID.

More on cool colours and Classics soon.

Happy New Year's Eve.
