"tea(rs)"

"tea"

I bet you can guess the beginnings of the word "tea". Originating in myth-form from Bodhidharma (the 29th patriarch of that damn zen-man, Buddha!) whom is said to have fallen asleep near the end of his NINE YEARS of wall-gazing. Then after becoming angry with himself, he cut off his eyelids to prevent it from happening again. So when his tears hit the floor the first tea plants sprang up and thereafter tea would provide a stimulant to help students stay awake during meditation. How's that for an etymology!?

(Bodhidharma - a moody fellow)

Also, tea is slang for marijuana, which sometimes was brewed in hot water.

Revel in the dishevelled origins of wierd WORDS!

Pumpernickel - "devil farts" 
Darling  - "favorite minion"
Pedestrian - "a follower" (of Aristotle)
Robot - "forced labor"
Nice - “not knowing” (foolish)
Chaos - "original yawning abyss"
Government - "mind pilot"

Here's a curve ball: Hollywood refers to the Holly tree that ancient Druids selected branches from to remove and use. With these Holly tree limbs, Druids made magic staffs with which they could then cast spells. . . leading to greatest magicians/Druids of current time: "HollyWood". With such spell binding SFX, enchanting big budgets, and spectacles so supreme!

Now, let's indulge in combinations like:
Revel & Dishevel meaning "riotous merry making - with shaven head."

Hello - "stop, cease!"
Hippocrates  - "one superior in horses"
Lettuce - "milky sap"
Gymnasium - "to train naked"
Deutsch - "greedy men"
America - "work-rule"
Muscle - "little mouse"
Doctor - "alter, disguise, falsify"
Utopia - "no where"
Travel - "to work"

Orange - fatal ingestion for elephants (originally a Sanskrit work Naga-rata which carries old meaning about elephants who ate too many orange fruits then died leaving the doctor/examiner to be baffled by the autopsy and exlaim "this was a fatal ingestion for the elephant" which ultimately translated into Naranja in Spanish and, thus Orange today in English. . .)

Family - "servants of a household"
Taboo - "sacred"
Money - "warning!" 
Estate - "the standing collective assets of a dead person"
Religion - "bond between humans and gods"
Senate - "old" (senile)
Gentile - "chivalrous person; member of the nobility”
Philistine - "uncircumcised phallus"
Lord - "keeper of the bread" (load-ward)
Lady - "loaf"
Vagina - "sword sheath"
Addict - "roman slave"

Finally a few words of debatable origins:
Ciao - "i am your slave"

Pyramids (*) - "fire in the middle" (not a place for ascension of souls of deceased kings - rather it is a place of energy generation like a coal factory!) Thus,"Pyra"(Fire) and "Middo"(middle)?

Porcelain (†) - "Pigs Female Genitalia" . . . originally the chinaware so called from resemblance of its lustrous transparency to the shiny surface of the cowrie shells, however, the shell's name in Italian is from porcella "young sow," or porcus "pig”. Porcelain's connection between the shell and the pig is it's resemblance of the shell's opening and the exposed outer genitalia of pigs.
