Typhoon, tycoon, tyranny and Tyrannosaur Part 2

(The second half of me letting my imagination fly from "typhoon, tycoon, tyranny and Tyrannosaur")

And then, I went on to thinking about 'tyranny' and 'Tyrannosaur'.

I guess that when archaeologists found the full set of skeletal structure for the largest carnivorous dinosaur, they must have imagined what fear it brought to other creatures living in same age. 

"Here comes thumping and whipping its thick fat tail the hungry big-headed humongous meat-eating creature with great big munching jaws lined with lethal set of sharp teeth!!!!"

So, this predator was named 'Tyrannosaur'. One of them even has -rex on the end of its name, which means "king"! How powerful could you get!

Then, what about the word 'tyranny'?

Now, I imagine that this kind of word is born from the side of the ruled, not the ruler, and in a culture where it has seen a great domination over people. If you are in power, you have no fear, you can do whatever you want. However, if you have been suffering under brutal domination for many years and you know who's or what's to blame, you would come up with a word to describe that, wouldn't you. You would want to share your agony and distress with the people under the same condition.

"Oh! That tyrant! We will be left with nothing, no food, no future if this tyranny goes on!"

Something you still might hear in a smoking room in a big company.

And this word 'tyranny' is Greek in origin. Yes, the ancient Greeks have dominated vast regions in the Mediterranean and later was dominated by the Romans.

Maki, having fun slipping myself to Asia, prehistoric ages and the ancient Greek world with words...
