Hi guys I'm here for help with a strange word association. I can see the connection (sort of) but I can't quite solidify it satisfactorily in my mind. I do not speak Latin, but I have a very basic grasp of the concepts. This is the phrase that is throwing me for a loop -
" The word "Nutrition" is a compound word (Nut-rition) which comes of the Latin, NUX, meaning 'process of light'.
Now, I know that LUX means light. I know that NUX means nut. The rest I can't make sense of. Can anyone explain to me how the Latin word NUX translates into "process of light"?
Thanks in advance
