The sun may be setting on the third month of 2025, but it's not gone yet, and here we are with our third episode of the year! 

In this episode, Amy squares up against "carfax", while Ryan discovers a stowaway suffix in a pile of "wealth".

Lexitecture is a podcast about etymology (the linguistics study of the origin and history of words). In each normal, increasingly infrequent episode, a Canadian (Ryan) and a Scot (Amy) each present their current favourite word and talk about its origins, current use, and try to puzzle out how it may have gone from A to B. If you love thinking and talking about words, word origins, or just random bits of head-scratching language trivia, this may be the show for you!
