I’ll give an example. For some reason, every time I hear or think of the word nepotism, I think of the Greek god Poseidon. No idea how or why this happens. Have any other examples ?

    I guess it’s not exactly the same, because it sort of is related, but I always get tripped up on “ancillary” because it is a totally inoffensive English word… except that the Latin word ancilla means “slave girl.”
