A classic example would be &#8216;detailed&#8217; indicating the removal of the last letter from a word &#8211; the verb &#8216;detail&#8217; has nothing to do with tails, but if there <em>were<\/em> a word meaning &#8216;to remove the tail from&#8217; it would probably be &#8216;detail&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I would welcome thoughts on this list, and suggestions for additions, changes or deletions.
