Courtly

If someone lives like a queen. They might live courtly. That means elegant. So, their house might be elegant or pretty. Now, if you are Indian and you live or have visited India, you might have seen some Indian palaces that are very beautiful. For history to know, lots of queens and kings were able to rule India only when India was under the British Rule. After the British went to their country all kings and queens were living in ordinary homes but still with courtly dresses. OK, bye! I'll give you a link to learn more history about India.

Counterfeit

Do you know what counterfeiting means? It means to imitate. Do you know what imitate means. It means to copy someone in what they're doing or saying. Have you done it once in a while? I only do it once in a while. So, that I don't irritate anyone. Here are some sentence examples:
1.Their wives sent him baskets of chickens and ducks, and were lavish, it was said, of favours of a more tender kind; for in gallantry at least, the counterfeit was a not unworthy representative of the original.
2. And I had inadvertently chosen a time to cash the check when its worth as a counterfeit could be tested.
 Both sentences might mean different counterfeits. I will write the meanings:
1. To make a copy of, usually with the intent to defraud; forge
2. To make a pretense of
3. To carry on a deception; dissemble
Those are probably a few of  the other meanings used in the sentences. Ok, bye! Have an Early Happy Halloween because Halloween is tomorrow.

The rest are in Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary.
Ok? Let's talk a little about counter now. Why are there so many definitions? It's just weird. Right?

Cosmology

Cosmology is the branch of astronomy in which it deals with the general structure and evolution of the universe.
You might have seen the keyword cosmo in cosmology. Cosmo- : a combining form meaning “world,” “universe,” used in the formation of compound words. Logy sounds like it means the study of cosmos.

The etymology: New Latin cosmologia, from Greek kosmos + New Latin -logia -logy
Date it was invented/made:  circa 1656

I wonder what circa means... I'll look it up. A sec... please.
Circa : about: (used esp. in) approximate dates

Corrode

Guess what this word means! From which word does it have a little bit. Rodent. It has the "rode" part. So, if some rat or small rodent  left a little gnawing mark on a block of cheese, you would say it corroded the cheese. Or if  metal wore away by chemical reaction, you would've said the chemical reaction corroded the metal.  The other meaning is that if you wear away something gradually anything,not a specific item. Ok, bye! Oh yeah! and this whole week is Halloween week!
