Aha moments, part 1

I just realized that quest and question probably come from the same root word.

  1. OH MAN, THEY DO! (Well, if you go back to the earliest Latin they're based upon.)

    "question" ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French question (noun), questionner (verb), from Latin quaestio(n-), from quaerere ‘ask, seek.’

    "quest" ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French queste (noun), quester (verb), based on Latin quaerere ‘ask, seek.’

    I'M SO EXCITED. (I did not have this "aha' moment a long time ago, lol.)
