While I was adding to my Quoraspondence, sponsors show me something interesting about All the Stars Who've Been Attacked with Flying Objects at Their Shows ...
|That word| seems important; so I found out a little more about |that word| (below-linked to the article that brought |that word| to my attention) and share my findings with you below---maybe I'll add some notes beneath (and/or you might start/continue the discussion in the comments).
To Keep Up on My 'Research,' Follow @mythmanjay
The word |Attack| is said to be a doublet of "Attach" (as in 'to Join (in Battle)'), and evolved into ancient words that mean "|Assault, |Assail."
just like #Attacked #Attacks #Attacking #Counterattack
#Counterattacks #Counterattacked #Counterattacking
#HeartAttack #SneakAttack
The word |Pelting| sits at the peak of the high tower above the proto-word #pel- "to Thrust, Strike, Drive" ... ot maybe from ancient words that mean "Ball" (see |Pellet ... and the noun #Pelt "Skin of a |Fur-Bearing Animal with the |Hair still on it" is supported by that proto-word's homonym with the meanings "|Fur Skin, Hide.")
just like #Pelted #Pelts
The proto-word |*pel| can also mean "|Pale" (guessed at from ancient words that mean "Gray, Whitish, |Livid, Dark, |Pallid, |Wan, Colorless, |Sallow, |Dull-Colored, |Brown"), "to Fold" (guessed at from ancient words that mean "Pocket, Joint; to Plait, Wrap up, Furl") or "to Sell" (guessed at from ancient words that mean "Barter, Purchase, Gain, Prey, |Booty, For |Sale, |Venal), beside meaning "to Thrust, Strike, Drive" (guessed at from ancient words that mean "|Wield, |Brandish, Swing, Shake, |Tremble, Push") or "|Fur Skin, Hide" (guessed at from ancient words that mean "Membrane, |Foreskin").
And it forms all or part of the words "|Appall, |Falcon, |Fallow (Pale- or Brownish Yellow), |Lloyd, |Pallor, |Polio; |Hundredfold, |Manifold, Multiple, |Octuple, -|plus, |Quadruple, |Quintuple, |Sextuple, |Triple; |Fell (Skin or Hide of an Animal), |Film; Monopoly; |Anvil, |Appeal, |Catapult, Compel, |Dispel, Expel, |Felt (Fabric Matted Together by Rolling or Beating), |Filter, Impel, Impulse, |Peal, |Polish, |Propel, Pulsate, |Rappel, |Repeal, |Repel."
