What might Eloise Bridgerton and Eloise at the Plaza have in common? Aside from a name, Emily and Kyle learn that both can be described by this week’s word, hoyden!
Our hosts discuss the many theories surrounding this word: a Dutch origin, a connection to pagan heathens and unkempt heaths, and even a religious connotation. Emily talks about the history of “hoity-toity,” while Kyle tells us why we should all be “flebbin’ with the boys.”
Returning to hoyden, our hosts delve into exactly why this is a word for tomboy girls and rowdy women. They talk about snobs telling rebel women to watch their manners, and some female characters with distinctly on-the-nose names.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
