"Pear shaped" linking to an article on female body shapesedit
Latest comment: 8 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion
it seems strange to me for "pear shaped" (in regards to an actual pear) to link to Female body shape. it is essentially saying that a pear is shaped like a woman who is shaped like a pear, which is not that useful or accurate. Also, the phrase "pear shaped" is not at all prominent in that article. what do you guys think? Neplutondeep (talk) 17:36, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

According to the current text, the origin of the word for pear is given as the Semitic word for fruit, cited as pirâ which is probably meant as an Aramaic word; the corresponding Hebrew word is pərī. But this derivation is impossible, since the [r] is original in these Semitic words, whereas in Latin it is the result of rhotacism from earlier *pisom, corresponding to the early Greek *á-pison. Thus the etymology given in Douglas Harper's Etymonline, that it derives from a lost Mediterranean language, is the best explanation hitherto. Perhaps this fact should be considered in the text? 2001:2003:F44B:2A00:500F:CD9:5150:75B4 (talk) 17:00, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
