The true story of history's only known meteorite victim

person: A theater mask. Often interpreted as per+sonare “to sound through”. Applying that to a human being means accusing them of being false and hiding their true character. Not nice

I’ve also heard that “person” comes, via Latin, from the Etruscan phersu (again meaning a theatrical character), which would make it the only word of Etruscan origin in English.
