OP From :engines":
Two of our words were absent in the Medieval
vocabulary -- comfort and privacy. To comfort was
to strengthen or to console. It carried no sense of
physical comfort or coziness. The Holy Spirit was
called the comforter, not because he brought ease
into your life, but because he strengthened you
I never thought of that etymology!
against a hard world.
