| | | curiosità | Explanation:
Switzerland has given the world seminal words like Muesli, autonomer Nachvollzug (that’s what the Swiss call the obedient adaption of EU regulations in Berne, despite being a non-member state) and Putsch. Now. I’d like to introduce another one: the Swiss German word *“Gwunder” *(as opposed to the High German “Neu-gierde” – “avidity or greed for the NEW”), which is derived from “wonder, miracle”, and marvellously means – “curiosity”.
