cadaver. In the seventh century the scholar St. Isadore of Se- ville taught his students that the word cadaver was an acronym of the Latin caro data vermibus (flesh given to worms), this one of the earliest examples of folk etymology. Cadaver, a dead body or corpse, actually comes from a Latin word spelled, pro- nounced, and meaning the same—nowhere near as good a sto- ry as the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out . . . tale. Isadore had hundreds more stories in his 20-part encyclopedia Books of Origins or Etymologies.
