Commiserate
Well, in my already boredom of summer, lol (there are just TOO many hours in the day now)
I am currently clearing out/organizing my internet bookmarks, far too many of them to say the least. Talk about the opposite of a simple lifestyle.

Commiserate

History?
-no long etymology sadly, but it comes from Latin
com=with + miserari=to pity (miser=wretched)
--> miserable. yes, those who are miserable are able to commiserate.

Syntax! (Yes, I am learning something with all of these linguistics classes, who knew?)
-Transitive or intransitive (tricky...)
1) to feel or express sorrow or sympathy for; empathize with; pity. [ACC}
2) to sympathize [=oblique case!!!!]-appears next to with/for/etc.

Oh, life. lol.
I truly love words. Hopfully, I will have the time this summer to delve into some and create...I don't know what. They're are just horribly entertaining (at least for me).
