Pogrom has a nice etymology: from Russian погром (pogrom) 'outrage, havoc' from погромить (pogromit') 'to wreak havoc' < по- (po- > по po 'next to" cf. Greek απο- apo-, English up) + громить (gromit') 'to outrage, wreak havoc' (> гром (grom) 'thunder', cf. Greek χρομος (khromos) 'noise, sound' (but sadly not βρομος (bromos) '' and βροντη (brontē) 'thunder'), Old English gram 'angry, cruel, fierce, hostile', English grumble < PIE *ghrem- 'heavy sound, thunder, grumble').
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
