Oh, do you know if english as any make up/cosmetic type words that have the old latin mundus as a root? i can't think of any.
--Kohl-- a type of eye make up comes to english from Arabic, and is related to the word alcohol.. the eye make up was made by fermenting certain fruits/berries, the juice was then thickened and use as eye lid coloring..
