dynamite
from Swedish
This word originated in Sweden

Funny, it doesn't sound Swedish. That's because its ancestry is classical Greek. But dynamite was born in Sweden, in the mind of Alfred Nobel, later of Nobel Prize fame. Nobel invented a way to convert a hazardous liquid explosive, nitroglycerine, into a stable solid. He just poured the nitroglycerine into a nonexplosive filler--at first diatomaceous earth, made from the shells of microscopic sea creatures called diatoms, then something as simple as sawdust. Pressed into cylinders, this new material was easy to carry. More important, it had the advantage of not exploding before its time.

To name his new material, Nobel did not limit himself to everyday words of his native Swedish. He turned, as scientists still do, to Greek, the most respected language of the ancient world. He added -it, a Swedish suffix like English --ite, to dynam-, the root of the Greek word for "force," which also appears in words like dynamo and dynamic.

Nobel's explosive contribution to world technology and vocabulary made him rich. A pacifist, he worried about the effects of dynamite and in his will established what became the best-known prizes in the world, for science and for peace. He also armed our language with what is still a powerful word. Dynamite occupies nearly a full page in the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang, with examples like this from Saul Bellow's 1944 novel Dangling Man: "He didn't have to tell me. I could tell from the beginning she was dynamite."

Swedish is spoken by almost nine million people in Sweden and a few hundred thousand in neighboring Finland. It has contributed about a hundred words to present-day English, most of them more Swedish-sounding, including spry (1746), scuffle (1590), nickel (1755), smorgasbord (1893), orienteering (1948), moped (1955), and ombudsman (1959).

Who are you to say it's absurd when it came from a nobel prize winner? Have you won a nobel prize? No? Then STFU :roll:.

You don't get serious responses because you are a joke.

Just to correct, he isn't a nobel winner. He was Nobel, the guy who started the prize.
