Or to gorgonize, or not?
Another one of those lovely words that one doesn’t hear often, but that could be so useful in today’s world of dwindling thoughts and vocabulary.
For those (o.k. I had a vague idea, but didn’t know the origins) who haven’t a clue: it could have been any one of the three monstrous sisters in Greek mythology: Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa who could turn people into stone with a look – oh wouldn’t that be useful???
Meaning: To paralyze, petrify, or hypnotize.
I can think of a few people, whom, after very careful thought as to the results of my actions, I would love to gorgonize. No fears, I won’t mention them here!
