Speaking of the devil, as a Dutchman I think it's fun to see a week of Dutch words on the menu. The hogen- part of yesterday's word lives on in today's Dutch language as hoog, adjective, meaning high. The mogen- part survives in it's original form, but the usage has changed. Mogen is now a verb meaning to have permission, to be allowed to.......whatever It is also captured in the word vermogen, meaning as a verb : to be capable of, meaning as a noun: capital/ equity Have a nice week.
