noun a set of rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps, as for finding the greatest common divisor.

1699, from Fr. algorithme refashioned (under mistaken connection with Gk. arithmos "number") from O.Fr. algorisme "the Arabic numeral system," from M.L. algorismus, a mangled transliteration of Arabic al-Khwarizmi "native of Khwarazm," surname of the mathematician whose works introduced sophisticated mathematics to the West (see algebra). The earlier form in M.E. was algorism (c.1230), from O.Fr. Modern use of algorithmic to describe symbolic rules or language is from 1881.

"Hermaphrodite"

Her·maph·ro·dite. In zoology and botany, a hermaphrodite is an organism that possesses both male and female sex organs during its life. In many species, hermaphroditism is a common part of the life-cycle, particularly in some asexual animals and some plants. Generally, hermaphroditism occurs in the invertebrates, although it occurs in a fair number of fish, and to a lesser degree in other vertebrates. On very rare occasions, such a hermaphrodite can even impregnate itself, but this will result in complications.

Some readers may recognize this example of Hermaphrodism:

"Jermajesty"

Jermajesty - No results found for jermajesty.

Illustration on request! - Thank you! Obviously we all know what it means, 'your majesty'. When referring to royalty, on the occasion of a state visit one is advised to refer to said royal as 'ma'am' and just for your reference, they state in official paperwork (as in lamb). That's us told, cheers. 'Jermajesty' or a 'alright luv' is much more tempting should the opportunity ever arise.

Ok, Ok. I went for the easy option, too many meanings for Tabernacle, an object was easier to illustrate. Got to ease myself back in to the daily word illustrations after a rather lengthy holiday. (Please note it took 30 minutes during the first half of Desperate Housewives - i'm sure you see the lack of effort) and please overlook that I watch Desperate Housewives a guilty pleasure. Happy new year all!
