Alexander has revised my duties. I am his amanuensis, slave with secretarial duties, accent on the fourth syllable. He dictated his expository essay, and I scribbled as fast as I could. From Latin āmanuēnsis (“secretary”), from ab- (“from, of”) + manus (“hand”) + -ensis (“of or from a place”). Definite backward progression!
