#Portrait (below-hyperlinked to CBS Sunday Morning's segment on Presidential #Portraiture) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Portrait” is built on ancient words that mean "to |Paint, |Depict" (see |Portray).

While it would seem more appropriate to put this list on the post for "President," a) other countries also have Presidents & b) this is the post I'm working-on:
    Presidents-/Vice Presidents-of the United States (hyperlinking to their portraits through their party-affiliation (Federalist, Democratic-Republican, Whig, Republican, Democrat, National Union) ... and maybe what they're famous for (and maybe what I know/remember most about them))

  41. George W. Bush/Dick Cheney (Republican)
  42. Barack Obama/Joe Biden (Democratic)
  43. Donald Trump/Mike Pence (Republican ... Presided over The 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic (and therefore 'holds the buck' when people wonder who to blame for it))

Whoa—this is turning into a little more 'a project' than 'a quick few notes jotted down.' I'm gonna try to hyperlink all the words & names to their posts in this blog ... or I'm going to start-to, but leave it partly done for a long time ...
