Add This Word History to Your Repertoire
The Late Latin noun repertorium,
meaning "list," has given us two words that can be used
to speak of the broad range of things
that someone or something can do.
One is repertory, perhaps most commonly known
as a word for a company
that presents several different plays, operas,
or other works at one theater,
or the theater where such works areperformed.
Repertoire, which comes from repertorium viaFrench,
once meant the same thing as repertory
but later came to refer to the range of skills
that a person has under his or her belt,
such as the different pitches a baseball pitcher can throw
or the particular dishes that are a chef's specialty.
