to whom it may concern..
the way that the "ignore" function works is that for each "ignored" post I see this:
*** You are ignoring this user ***
Toggle the display of this post
thus, an option for each and every "ignored" post!
I must admit that even I can not always resist.
-joe (full disclosure) friday Whatever. The sad part is, he puts me on "ignore", takes me off, puts me on, takes me off. Must be rough living with so much rancor.

't is a bitter pill to swallow that this the origin of this word:
rancor
early 13c., from O.Fr. rancor, from L. rancorem "rancidness, grudge, bitterness," from L. rancere "to stink" (see rancid).
is attributed to my Old Frisian ancestors. It does not look O.Fr. to me and I doubt if the Old Romans ever made it to the Frisian regions at all. Their heavy armour must have got stuck in mud and peat. It'll get a strikethrough in my dictionary at once. A bodacious act.

rancor ... is attributed to my Old Frisian ancestors.
By whom? The dictionaries I took a quick peek at all have its origin in Latin (as your cited etymology does, too).

MdR (as the French txt). I did not even see it, though it was right in front of me. O.Fr. expands to Old French, not Old Frisian.

I like the Latin: 'rancere', to stink.
