factotum \fak-TOH-tuhm\ (noun) 1 a person
having many diverse activities or
responsibilities 2 a general servant
Sander's job title is "General Manager," which
basically means he is a factotum who does
whichever jobs need to be done around the office.
"Do everything!" That's a tall order, but it is
exactly what a factotum is expected to do. It's
also a literal translation of the New Latin term
"factotum," which in turn traces to the Latin
words facere ("to do") and totum ("everything").
In the 16th century, "factotum" was often used in
English as if it was a surname, paired with first
names to create personalities such as "Johannes
Factotum" (literally "John Do-everything"). Back
then, it wasn't necessarily desirable to be
called a "factotum" the term was a synonym of
"meddler" or "busybody." Now the word is more
often used for a handy, versatile individual
responsible for many different tasks. mailtoword

inalienable \in-AY-lee-uh-nuh-bul\ (adjective)
incapable of being withdrawn, surrendered, or
transferred In the Declaration of
Independence, Thomas Jefferson asserted that
everyone is endowed with certain inalienable
rights, including the right to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. "Alien,"
"alienable," "inalienable" it's easy enough to
see the Latin word alius,alia,aliud meaning
"other," at the root of these three words.
"Alien" joined our language in the 14th century,
and one of its earliest meanings was "belonging
to another." By 1611, that sense of "alien" had
led to the development of "alienable," an
adjective describing something you could give
away or transfer ownership of. And around 1645,
people started using "inalienable" for things
that could not be taken away or given to
another. word_at_m-w.com
