Notes

        You awoke early, made a clarification or two in scene two and are ready for bed. This next scene will be a doozy. You, however, wonder if the word stems from the classic car: the Duesenberg. 


I had to go online to check the spelling, Amorella. It does make sense. I like to think that’s where the word comes from. Online it means “something extraordinary or bizarre”.  Merriam-Webster’s says the etymology is “perhaps alteration of daisy, 1916”. That is before the car. Also, its definition is “an extraordinary one of its kind”.  I think extraordinary should be an adverb here, “an extraordinarily one of its kind.” That doesn’t really sound better, but it should. I’m probably wrong. Still, I don’t like “an extraordinary one”. Sorry, Amorella. 


Don’t erase this, orndorff. Your mind is about as sharp as a butter knife this morning. 


I know that in your original context my rambling doesn’t make any difference, but it is interesting. I haven’t heard the word for a long time and I couldn’t figure out how to spell it. I kept coming up with ‘dozy’. I definitely have to go back to bed. 


Later in the evening, and you are with daughter, son in law, and grandson. Time for family not writing. Later, tomorrow, old man. – Amorella.
