That word (the 'built' one below)—there might be something more to that word ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...
The word “Gazette” is built on “the Small Copper Coin traded for each issue of the Ancient Venetian (Italian) Newspaper” (or the Little Magpie or -Jay (Bird) pictured on that coin, or the Meaningless Chattering the bird was known-for, or the Latin word for Little Treasure... first used in English when the Court of Oxford had to Flee from the Plague).

word that confuses you) with a comment below,
