The Greek word skandalizein comes from a verb that means “to limp.” What does a lame person resemble? To someone following a person limping it appears that the person continually collides with his or her own shadow. |

Le mot grec skandalizein vient d’un verbe qui signifie « boiter ». A quoi ressemble un boiteux ? A un individu qui suivrait comme son ombre un obstacle invisible sur lequel il ne cesse de broncher. |
