The Literal Puzzle

My father had the advantage of learning Latin, and professed that this knowledge was a key to deciphering the meaning of many English words. While I never got past "Hibernia est parva insula", I could see what he meant. If you understand how manuscript means what it does, you are halfway towards an understanding of manufacture. If you realize that a podiatrist treats your feet, then you might wonder what an arthropod is, and how that's related to arthritis and gastropods.

  1. bad - comparison

I give up, show me the solution.
