Orcus Ogre

By Gman4326


To understand how this word came into existence. Let us start off with the etymology of the word 'Orc'. The French writer Charles Perrault (1628-1703) book entitled Contes du Temps passe. Here is a section of the English translation of Puss and Boots  Monsieur Puss came at last to a stately castle, the master of which was an Ogre, the richest had ever been known; for all the lands which the King had then gone over belonged to this castle. The Cat, who had taken care to inform himself who this Ogre was, and what he could do, asked to speak with him, saying, he could not pass so near his castle, without having the honour of paying his respects to him.
According to Wikipedia 8/18/2019 Puss in Boots who wants power and wealth rescues the king. The King would grant the Cat one wish. The anthromorphic feline ask on the behalf of the poor master. The hand of the princess in marriage. The king grants the wish of the cat. However the term origin starts with Etruscan local idol named Orcus who ruled the underworld. I use the word אֱלִיל as the ancient church would. Eliyl pronounced el-eel, in English which mean vanity, graven image or false god. In Hebrew it is a masculine adjective. The idol domain was supposed to be the land of the dead. It was not worshipped in the cities. As a noun in the old tongue means hell.  If you asked a pagan farmer. What the lord of the dead would look like? He would say, A eternally middle age, tall, round in the middle creature with one eye.  This word has been fundamentally used to grow both the English and internationally languages alike.
