Charming video with one exception. Since this is etymology, I am free to quibble. On two occasions, the speaker talks of difficulty in finding and/or isolating the particular element he is discussing. However, instead of “isolating” the element he says “synthesizing”! This was a particularly discordant note in an otherwise euphonic presentation.
