What words has biblical origins scapegoat lilliputian persnickety peccadillo?
Can there be more than one?It's clearly not "Lilliputian" which is a reference to the land of Lilliput in Gulliver's Travels or "persnickety" from the Scottish pernicky of uncertain origin (possibly related to "particular").It's a little harder to choose between the other two, though."Scapegoat" was coined as an English word by a translator of the Bible (Tyndall, if you really want to know) to express the same concept as Hebrew 'azazel, meaning "goat that departs". It's not really of "Biblical" origins in the sense that the word or any form of it is found in the original Torah or any of the various other works comprising the Bible prior to 1530. The actual etymology is pretty clear on the face of it: "scape" (a variation on "escape") plus "goat".Peccadillo, meanwhile, is from the Spanish peccadillo"little sin," which comes from the Latin peccare "miss, make a mistake, transgress, sin" and peccare (in various forms) definitely does exist in the Vulgate Bible ... not the original, but considerably closer temporally to it than Tyndale's early 16th century work.
