But it may confound the rash adopters of the more obvious etymological derivations, to learn that the couch-grass or dog-grass, or, to speak scientifically, the Triticum repens of Linnaeus, does not grow within a quarter of a mile of this castrum or hill-fort, whose ramparts are uniformly clothed with short verdant turf; and that we must seek a bog or palus at a still greater distance, the nearest being that of Gird-the-mear, a full half-mile distant.
The gate of Italy, I said in speaking of her, and indeed it is one of the derivations of her name Genoa, Janua the gate, founded, as the fourteenth-century inscription in the Duomo asserts, by Janus, a Trojan prince skilled in astrology, who, while seeking a healthy and safe place for his dwelling, sailed by chance into this bay, where was a little city founded by Janus, King of Italy, a great-grandson of Noah, and finding the place such as he wished, he gave it his name and his power.
It is only just that razzia and ghazah, the same words, should be so closely allied in application to their different actions.

But here, too, other authors give other derivations. Summarizing the results of our inquiry we see in the first place how very much remains to be done.
Alexander Wilder, states that the term "Nymphe" and its derivations was used to designate young women, brides, the marriage chamber, the lotus flower, oracular temples and the labiae minores of the human female. The Symbolical Language of Ancient Art and Mythology.
This, marked in Park's map Prospect Walk, is now called the Judge's Walk. This name is derived from a tradition that the judges came here and held their courts under canvas while the plague was raging in 1665. But derivations of this sort are very easy to make up and entirely unreliable. Lower and Upper Terraces just behind are full of charming residences. Siddons came in the autumn of 1804.
But several derivations have been suggested for the first syllable of the name.
