Well, there is this. Although it is quite far into the future plus I'm not necessarily recommending that you listen to it. It's not exactly an uplifting song, lol. Very dystopian, quite bleak. But that's the 1960's for you! It wasn't all love and peace, maaan! :ROFLMAO:

"Kaput originated with a card game called piquet that has been popular in France for centuries. French players originally used the term capot to describe both big winners and big losers in piquet. To win all twelve tricks in a hand was called "faire capot" ("to make capot"), but to lose them all was known as "รชtre capot" ("to be capot"). German speakers adopted capot, but respelled it kaputt, and used it only for losers. When English speakers borrowed the word from German, they started using kaput for things that were broken, useless, or destroyed."

Yes, but it wasn't in English - the bit I looked at - and I'm too tired for Google Translate shenanigans. I am tired. And it told me stuff I did not know.

I knew you would do this but I posted anyway. ๐Ÿ™„

I am a witch.

Thanks for the explanation, now I get it. So agonum's posts were rather intriguing, and more like a cipher๐Ÿ˜… but I guess that's just for me๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Oh, I didnโ€™t mean to criticize; it was merely a notice. Your post not only gives the etymology in English, but also is more detailed than what was in my post. Excuse my ambiguity.
 
Do I sense a space theme in the thread? Have we already given up on the robots? And how about the trains?

โ€A cipherโ€! ๐Ÿ˜…

Well, to be fair, I was posting in Swedish, and I do see how that might not be appreciated. At the same time, I cannot help but be fascinated by how languages are connected, and I guess a purpose of these possibly unappreciated posts of mine is for them to garner enough interest to merit a reply, which might highlight such connections. Or other types of connections, by all means!
