Abolitionists are driven by a desire to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God (Micah 6:8). Abolitionists are not interested in merely abstaining from evil themselves, but are committed to exposing evil and bringing it into conflict with the truth of Christianity (Ephesians 5:11).
Old English came from proto-Germanic (the long-dead language that gave rise to today's Germanic languages) â¦ . Proto-Germanic came from proto-Indo-European, which is the ancestor of most of the languages spoken in Europe, India, and some nearby areas.
One unique characteristic of English is that it was originally a Germanic language that acquired so many words from Latin, mostly via Old French and Norman French, that it eventually became essentially a Romance language. Two thirds of words in modern English are of Romance origin. It retained this sense in other Romance languages, and came to mean sex of a human being in English only in the 20th century. 2  impair: from French empirer and Latin impejorare meaning 'get worse' or 'deteriorate'.
