Dear radio team, here are two etymological explorations of 'experimental' and 'protocol'. I found most interesting how 'protocol' has a very material and physical origin (see footnote 1). Both etymological roots are from this website: etymonline.com

experimental

experiment (noun): an observation, test, or trial, piece of evidence or empirical proof; feat of magic or sorcery

from Old French esperment "practical knowledge, cunning; enchantment, magic spell; trial, proof, example; lesson, sign, indication

from Latin: ex "out of" + peritus "experienced, tested," from PIE *per-yo-, suffixed form of root per- "to try, risk."

experimental (adjective): "having experience", "for the sake of experiment"

protocol

Medieval Latin protocollum "draft," literally "the first sheet of a volume"

Greek prōtokollon ^[1] "first sheet glued onto a manuscript

proto-: "first, source, parent, preceding, earliest form, original, basic"

+ kolla: "glue"

development of meaning: "rough draft; original copy of a treaty, etc." -> "official record of a transaction" -> "diplomatic document" -> (?)

↑ referred to the first sheet of a papyrus roll bearing the date of its manufacture. In some instances, it consisted of an empty page that was glued to the outside of a manuscript's case and provided a description of its contents. protocol and politics (Merriam Webster Dictionary

[1] referred to the first sheet of a papyrus roll bearing the date of its manufacture. In some instances, it consisted of an empty page that was glued to the outside of a manuscript's case and provided a description of its contents. protocol and politics (Merriam Webster Dictionary
