Reply to : Warren Thom >> My wife and I saw a delightful French movie, "Amelie". A Gnome was in the movie. Does anyone know if the word is related to the word gnomon? <<
No, gnomon comes from Greek, while gnome comes from Latin (gnomus) which was used by Paracelsus, but I don't know where he got it from. Richard. E-mail from: Richard Mallett, 05-May-2002 -
