According to Wikipedia, lord comes from The old English "hlaf-weard" meaning "loaf guardian" which makes sense as lords often controlled the food supply.

"Entomology" is the study of insects. "Etymology" is the study of word origins and how the meanings have changed over history. The English word lord goes back to Old English hlaf-weard (loaf-guardian) – reflecting the Germanic tribal custom of a superior providing food for followers.

Most don't even know about their religion. That is why it is blind faith. They just do as they are told. I do not know what entomology has to do with it. Are you seeing if the Christians get offended, even if they have no idea what the question was? They see any question as an attack.

What does the study of insects have to do with the word Lord?

entomology - the study of insects
etymology - the study of the origin of words
And did you mean about the difference between "el", "elohe", "elohim" and the name typically represented as the tetragrammaton?

Craig is right, "lord" is from "bread guardian" ("loaf" in Old English meant "bread" in general, not just "loaf" as it does today). Methuselah is also right, this isn't about insects. Unless, of course, the "bread guardian" keeps insects away from the bread as well as thieves ;)

Every Athiest and non-believer on here is always on my case about spreading the word on here. Why don't you people lay off your particular brand of trying to push your belief, or non-belief on us believing God fearing Christians. I mean turn about is fair play, right?
