Extreme poverty between 7,000 to 10,000 years ago
It is amazing how a single word brings context for an entire era - the Age of Cancer, from 7,000 to 10,000 years ago.
Romanian has the word ''sarac'' for ''poor''.
''Sarac'' comes from ''sa'' and ''Rac'', meaning the son of the Age of Cancer.
''Sarac'' means '' poor''.
English ''poor'' is likely derived from a similar root - PAT RE > PA RE >> POOR.
Romance languages:
- Romanian: sărac
- Italian: povero
- Spanish: pobre
- French: pauvre
- Portuguese: pobre
- Catalan: pobre
Germanic languages:
- English: poor
- German: arm
- Dutch: arm
- Swedish: fattig
- Danish: fattig
- Norwegian: fattig
The age of Cancer is associated with the complete degradation of society (See Ovid's Metamorphoses, PAT ATEN > Phaeton - the Age of Cancer).
That is the timeline when Christianity was widespread and thus, patriarchy, too - which is derived from PAT HAT, meaning the 8th Age of Cancer - c 7,000 to 10,000 years ago. Ultimate evil emerged, bringing extreme poverty, war, violence.
Terra was never wealthy (by this, I mean the general population, whose standard of living has always been extremely low. 99.99% are/were very poor, or in extreme poverty.
The widespread association of the Age of Cancer with poverty is very clear now, and while the rest of words might be disputed, Romanian ''sarac'' is very clearly linked to the Age of Rac = Cancer.
The word ''sarac'' formed during that timeline. Speaking of word formation during the timeline when things emerged/were invented - let's see metals :) From Matria.
