So, people used to barter for goods\/services. Deerskins\/buckskins were one of the most traded commodities. As per writings from that time period, 5 buck skins were worth a cask of whiskey.<br><br>After American Independence, the Continental Congress authorized the issue of currency called dollars, derived from the German &#8216;Thaler&#8217;, a term used to describe Holy Roman Empire coins. Despite the currency replacing animal skins as means of payment, the slang &#8216;buck&#8217; remained, and still does.<\/p>\n\n\n<style><\/style><!-- begin-flying-press-lazy-render -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full has-custom-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wzko.pro\/online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1.webp\" alt=\"GRE Vocabulary Builder\" class=\"has-border-color has-palette-color-3-border-color wp-image-2786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1-300x75.webp 300w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1-768x192.webp 768w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GRE-Vocab-4-1-360x90.webp 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<!-- end-flying-press-lazy-render -->\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"salt\">Salt <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the origin of these stories are apocryphal, they, to some extent, contextualize several phrases we use nowadays in a few languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In ancient Rome, salt was a valuable resource. So, Roman soldiers used to get paid their <em>salarium<\/em>, which we now know as salary, primarily to purchase salt. This also led to the phrase &#8216;being worth one&#8217;s salt.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Hindi, there is a phrase &#8216;Namak Haraam&#8217; which loosely means traitor\/unfaithful. This is used when a person, who had been taken care of, fed, and treated friendly, betrays said person, thus disrespecting the salt given to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now on to this week&#8217;s words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"any-interesting-money-related-trivia-word-origins-you-ve-got-for-us-leave-them-in-the-comments-below\">Any interesting money-related trivia\/word origins you&#8217;ve got for us?

She had a reputation of spending the crown&#8217;s money on lavish, personal items, jewelry, etc. The &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Affair_of_the_Diamond_Necklace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Affair of the Diamond Necklace<\/a>&#8216; is one of the most notable scandals that reveal the extent of her profligacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of her failed attempts to revitalize the nation&#8217;s finances, she was given the nickname &#8220;Madame D\u00e9ficit&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Marie had not said &#8216;Let them eat cake&#8217; (which she apparently never did), and instead said &#8216;Let them get this bread,&#8217; (slang for let them get money) perhaps her fate would have headed in a more pleasant direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"iii-fiscal\">iii. fiscal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Part of Speech<\/strong> &#8211; adjective<br><strong>Definition<\/strong> &#8211; relating to government revenue, especially taxes.<br><strong>Word Origins <\/strong>&#8211; mid 16th century: from French, or from Latin <em>fiscalis<\/em>, from <em>fiscus<\/em> \u2018purse, treasury\u2019<br><strong>Synonyms<\/strong> &#8211; budgetary, pecuniary.<br><strong>Usage<\/strong> &#8211; My accountant handles my company\u2019s fiscal affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"iv-patronize\">iv. patronize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Part of Speech<\/strong> &#8211; verb<br><strong>Definition<\/strong> &#8211;<br>1. frequent (a shop, restaurant, or other establishments) as a customer; give financial or other support to.<br>2. treat in a way that is apparently kind or helpful but that betrays a feeling of superiority.<br><strong>Word Origins<\/strong> &#8211; from <em>patron + -ize<\/em>, or from Old French <em>patroniser<\/em> meaning &#8220;treat in a condescending way&#8221; 1797; the sense of &#8220;give regular business to&#8221; is from 1801.<br><strong>Synonyms<\/strong> &#8211; sponsor, promote, condescend to, put down.<br><strong>Usage<\/strong> &#8211; People should patronize small businesses to ensure their survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-did-harry-decline-a-dementor-s-invitation\">How did Harry decline a DeMentor&#8217;s invitation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m expecting a patron.&#8221; Sorry to all the Potterheads out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spell used to banish dementors &#8216;Expecto Patronum&#8217;, is Latin for &#8216;I await a saviour.&#8217; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a fun quiz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/ariellecalderon\/whats-your-patronus&amp;ved=2ahUKEwj9qvuXkOzzAhXHXisKHbIgAPgQFnoECAYQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw15o0_ea1wChdWtTuiR-jBU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> to find out what your Patronus is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrons, as we know them in this context, have been around since the medieval era.<br>Talented artists, musicians, writers, among others, would be taken under the patronage of wealthy people. They would be given money, space to pursue their arts, and sometimes, would be commissioned to create works of art as per the desires of said patrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The well-chronicled exploits of the Medici family come to mind, when thinking of notable patrons. Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Galileo, etc. sought the patronage of the Medici family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salvador Dali was an artist who is well-known for courting patrons, and since he was active in the 20th century, sponsorship deals with brands. He has done work for brands like Chupa Chups, and has appeared in commercials as well. Due to his supposed greediness for such undertakings, he was given the derogatory nickname &#8216;Avida Dollars,&#8217; which translates to &#8216;fond of money,&#8217; and is an anagram of his name! <br><br>Take a bow, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Andr%C3%A9_Breton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Breton<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"v-bequeath\">v. bequeath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Part of Speech <\/strong>&#8211; verb<br><strong>Definition <\/strong>&#8211;<br>1. leave (property) to a person or other beneficiary by a will.<br>2. pass (something) on or leave (something) to someone else.<br><strong>Word Origins <\/strong>&#8211; Old English <em>becwethan<\/em>, from be- \u2018about\u2019 (expressing transitivity) + <em>cwethan<\/em> \u2018say\u2019&nbsp;<br><strong>Synonyms <\/strong>&#8211; consign, transfer, vouchsafe.<br><strong>Usage <\/strong>&#8211; The old man decided to bequeath all his assets to his grandchildren upon his passing.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/bequeath-min-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bequeath\" class=\"wp-image-1308 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/bequeath-min.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/bequeath-min-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/bequeath-min-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/bequeath-min-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/online.wizako.com\/gre-preparation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/bequeath-min-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-there-is-a-will\">Where there is a will&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us may not be familiar that there are different kinds of wills.
