Some of the most interesting words in English are the actual names of the people first involved in the activities suggested by the meanings of the words. The word boycott,___39___, derives from[1] the case of Sir Charles Boycott (1832-97), a land agent in Ireland whose tenants[2] expelled[3] him because he refused to lower their rents. Vidkun Ouisling's name quickly became an infamous addition to the English language during World War II. He was a Norwegian politician who betrayed his country to the Nazis, and his name, quisling[4], means ___40____. Perhaps the most common example is the word sandwish, ___41____ the fourth Earl of Sandwish (1718-92), who created this quick portable[5] meal so that he would not have to leave the gambling table to eat.
