In the radio program "Dictionary on the Wave," linguist Dr. Hab. Sebastian Żurowski from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, along with host Jarosław Banaś from Polish Radio Koszalin, delve into the fascinating histories of Polish words. The conversation begins with "piekło" – a word with Proto-Slavic roots related to tar, which carries both negative and positive connotations. Next, they analyze the word "molo," originating from the maritime world, evolving from a pier to a popular promenade walkway. For dessert – a unique sport discipline from Kołobrzeg: "riding a bike on a board on water." Does this long name have marketing potential? The program combines etymology with culture and promotion, showcasing the dynamics of our language!
