Orrrr maybe the smell of fresh trees and fragrant wood. Sandalwood is also an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and is considered a sacred tree in India, used as incense for purification and meditation.

Pssh! Get to know your plants and your students, Mr. Kāne!

But it’s called sandal

✨Etymology time!✨

A compound of sandal and wood. Known as sandalwood in Middle English (sandal). Derived from the Old French sandale (14c), Medieval Latin sandalum, from Late Greek santalon.

AHHHHHHHH I LOVE ETYMOLOGY
might be the zoologist in me but i adore everything about etymology. the history of words and names and science is incredible

Mr. Gunther. I’m still with you.

Ms. Shephard. The joke is no matter the bath, Mr. McCoire still smells like a shoe. Less about etymology and more about the ol’ pup. I will have to ask Professor McCoire where his family found him 😂

Ms. Wei. Just trying to get to know the students better. Aura farming as the kids say. Though I don’t really know what that means….

I don't smell like a wet dog, Fu-Hai!
