What I show here is 'the group of words' that couch "that word" (below hyperlinked to my post about 'my disappointment with American English') into your vocabulary ... deeper meanings that 'firm the foundations' upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Mongoloid” is built on ancient words that mean Brave (the word also refers to 'Down's Syndrome'-sufferers, since the genetic defect shapes one's face to look like a Mongolian).

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
