In the more florid cases, where the diagnosis is unmistakeable, several anatomical studies (especially with automagical computerized devices, such as positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) have shown clear though subtle differences in the brains of schizophrenic patients…

These result [sic] indicate that the more complex the system, and the less the human feels aware of how the system is operating (i.e. to what degree it seems ‘automagical’) the less effective the operator becomes in correctly identifying problematic situations and taking the necessary corrective action.

diode

→ French: diode (see there for further descendants)

From di- (“two”) + -ode. Learned formation, coined by William Henry Eccles in 1919, after Ancient Greek δίοδος (díodos, “passage through”), which however is formed not with δι- (di-, “two”) but with δια- (dia-, “through”).

I propose to give the name diode to a tube with two electrodes.

1919 April 18, William Eccles, Electrician, page 475:

If a crystal or a diode is used, the amplifier-voltmeter combination may be used with an amplitude-modulated source; or with a c-w source, the detector may be connected to a microammeter or galvanometer as an indicating device.

1949, Samuel Silver, Microwave Antenna Theory and Design, page 593:

In this circuit when the diode is forward biased, the voltage across the diode remains fairly close to the diode's barrier potential.

The origin of the verb is uncertain; it is possibly:

The noun is derived from the verb.

en-adj

dumb (comparative dumber, superlative dumbest)

2009, Bomboni et al.: Comparison among MCNP-based depletion codes applied to burnup calculation of pebble-bed HTR lattices, page 918:

The penetration by light water reactors would be large even if other thermal reactors like the HTR were present, according to our preliminary evaluations, because the LWR is the best plutonium producer.

Of the nuclear reactors the HTR now produces heat at the highest temperature.

thimble

The noun is derived from Middle English thymbyll, thimel (“thimble”) [and other forms], from Old English þȳmel (“thimble, thumbstall; fingerstall”), then either:
* from Old English þūma (“thumb”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *tewh₂- (“to swell”)) + -el (suffix forming agent nouns and the names of instruments); or
* from Proto-Germanic *þūmilaz (“thumb-covering, thumb-sheath”), from *þūmô (“thumb”) (ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root mentioned above) + *-ilaz (suffix forming agent nouns).
The English word is analysable as thumb + -le (suffix forming agent nouns), and is cognate with Dutch duimeling (“thumbstall”), German Däumling (“thumbstall”), German Low German Dümelke (“thumbstall”), Saterland Frisian Düümelke (“thumbstall”), Scots thummle, thumble (“thimble”).
The verb is derived from the noun.
