Derivatives

  • excerptible

  • adjective ɪkˈsəːptɪb(ə)lɛkˈsəːptɪb(ə)l
  • excerption

  • noun ɛkˈsəːpʃ(ə)n
    • Thank you.… where your Honour sees three excerptions from the relevant provisions.

Origin

Mid 16th century (as a verb): from Latin excerpt- 'plucked out', from the verb excerpere, from ex- 'out of' + carpere 'to pluck'.

  • carpet from Middle English:

    Originally tables or beds, not floors, were covered by a carpet, and it is the early ‘tablecloth’ meaning that is behind the expression on the carpet, ‘being severely reprimanded by someone in authority’. The phrase originally had the meaning, ‘under consideration or discussion’, and referred to the covering of a council table, where official documents for discussion were placed. A matter up for discussion at a meeting was on the carpet, just as we might now say on the table. The modern sense of carpet is found when you sweep something under the carpet to hide or ignore a problem in the hope that it will be forgotten. The word carpet is from old Italian carpita ‘woollen bedspread’, which was based on Latin carpere ‘to pluck, pull to pieces’, the source of carp (Middle English), ‘to criticise’, and excerpt (mid 16th century) ‘pull bits out’. See also harvest
