Minatory and taurus...

Minatory (Adj): Threatening, menacing.This word can be broken as “minari”, which means, “threaten”, and “taur”, which means “bull”. Actually this word comes from “Minotaur” who was monster having body of a man and head of a bull. As he was too menacing he was kept in a labyrinth and fed with human flesh (Gory isn’t it).

Taurus (N): Second sign of zodiac or a person born under this sign.Do you remember a bike made by Enfield by the name Taurus that used to run on diesel fuel? Now it is out of production but still it will help you remember the word minatory.

Regards,
V
