Etymology of COALANDICE

The word "coalandice" is a compound word derived from two distinct words: "coal" and "andice".

The term "coal" comes from the Old English word "col", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "kula". This word originally meant "charcoal" or "a piece of burning wood". Over time, its meaning expanded to include "mineral coal" or "combustible black rock".

The word "andice" has its origins in the Old French word "andis", which later evolved into "andise" in Middle English. It referred to a disorder characterized by the simultaneous coexistence of extreme opposites or conflicting qualities. This concept was often associated with the female gender in medieval literature, suggesting a paradoxical or unpredictable nature.
