Where did the word knockers originated?

The word "knockers" originates from the Middle English term "knokker," which is derived from the verb "knocken," meaning to knock. Historically, it referred to devices used for knocking on doors, often shaped like a hand or a decorative feature.

The dual meanings reflect how language evolves and adapts in different contexts.

What kind of ring was Franklin D. Roosevelt wearing?

Roosevelt's ring was a gold bloostone engraved with the Roosevelt family crest. Roosevelt inherited the ring from his father, James Roosevelt. When FDR died, the ring passed to his eldest son James. According to the Roosevelt Museum and Library, the ring's current whereabouts are unknown. FDR also wore a gold band ring behind his family crest ring. In response to a query about this in 2000, the Roosevelt Library said that, according to James Roosevelt, the band ring was a guard ring. Such a ring is usually worn in front of the ring-not in back of it as FDR did.
