Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

It comes from the same Indo-European root (ghlei-, ghlo- or ghel-, meaning to shine, glitter or glow) as gleam, glint, glimmer, glisten, glitz, glance, gloss. It's also the origin of the word yellow (cf. giallo in Italian), which shows the connection with gold.Originally posted by fah-q View PostThe original form of this phrase was 'all that glisters is not gold'. The 'glitters' version of the phrase long ago superseded the original and is now almost universally used..
