3. (a) Vandal = Vandal was originally the name for a member of German people who
conquered Gaul, Spain, and North Africa in the fourth and fifth centuries A.D.; then
in 455 A.D,. they sacked rome. Vandal also comes from Latin, Vandalus (s), Vandali
(pl); a name from Teutonic origin which means “wanderers” and related to German
wandeln, “to wander”.
(b) Womanizer = The noun womanizer comes from the verb womanize which means
to make effeminate. However, by the late 1800s, the meaning changed to “to chase
women.” (c) Clang = word formation is probably from Latin clangere, which means
to ring; clang
(d) Nylon = Nylon is a borrowed compound (which is also the least common
processed word in English) that is modeled on words like “cotton” and “rayon” which
is a completely made-up word, with no real roots.
(e) Flip-flop = Originated from a family of words that are created by reduplication;
which is the repetition of the same or similar sound. Same with nylon, flip flop has no
real roots as it is compounded by the rhyme itself.
