They've Got #MensBasketball & #WomensBasketball; Robots are like #Orphans until THEY get a Basketball-League! | @MSNnews relays @Esquire's report | #Olympics

on
The news-team talks about the Robot Basketballer (among other such #Olympic-things) in a report linked through 'those words' below; but first I want to understand those words better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Orphan” (meaning of part of the base of "Robot") is built on ancient words that mean |Bereft. #Orphaned #Orphaning #Orphanage 
The word "Olympics" is built on the name Mount #Olympus (home of the Greek Gods ... a mountain whose name probably means Mountain), root of the name of #Olympia (a town with a |Temple-of-Zeus where |Athletic |Tournaments were held in his honor). #Olympiad #Olympiadic #Olympian
