WOTD – 17 June 2021

Etymology 1

From Middle English sol (“fifth degree or note of Guido of Arezzo’s hexachordal scales”), the first syllable of Latin solve (“to remove; to get rid of”), the first word of the fifth line, third verse (“Solve polluti, labii reatum”, that is, “Clean the guilt from our stained lips”) of the famed medieval hymn Ut queant laxis, which solfège was based on because its lines started on each note of the scale successively.
