Diamond
Whenever I look at a diamond I think of the meaning of the ancient Greek word it originated from which means “untameable, invincible.” Philosophers would speak about a legendary unbreakable stone, they called Adamas, or Adamant.
Thousands of years later, people began to use the word to refer to something that cannot be altered, for example, if someone is “adamant” they are as unyielding as this mythical stone. There is something strong and mighty in that word, and the unconquer- able stone that it describes became known as “diamond.” Precious, absolutely. But not delicate, not sweet, the untamed and invincible diamond.
