Content preview: Stefan, The origins of the words are interesting: Antenna : 1640s, "feeler or horn of an insect," from L. antenna "sail yard," the long yard that sticks up on some sails, of unknown origin, perhaps from PIE root *temp- "to stretch, extend." In the etymological sense, it is a loan-translation of Aristotle's Gk. keraiai "horns" (of insects). Modern use in radio, etc., for "aerial wire" is from 1902.
