Wayne’s word – donor

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is DONOR.

The word donor comes from the Latin donare, meaning “to give” and that’s all it is, giving a little of what you have, so someone else gets a better shot. No fanfare, no fuss.

Last night I had some free time so I decided to donate some plasma. It’s fairly easy to do, takes about an hour, you relax on the chair and even enjoy a free milkshake. It’s something small but can mean the world of difference to someone that needs it.
