Subject: RE: Eight words whose meanings have completely changed over time



Iowa
Most of these are illogical. Brave meaning cowardice? This must be a joke, where did you copy and paste it from?

Artificial comes from the base word "artifice" (artifact?), which meant, from its origin, something that is created by man that opposes nature.

And counterfeit still does mean to make a perfect copy. If someone makes a counterfeit $5 bill, it means that it's a copy of a real one. It's still illegal, but it's still a copy.

I'd like to see a source of where this came from, because most of them are laughably wrong.
