Procrastinate

Everybody postpones actions, but not everybody knows the origin of this verb.

Keep on reading..


"To procrastinate" comes from the Latin prefix "Pro" (meaning "Before"or "In favor of") and "Cras" meaning "Tomorrow".


Interesting fact : In Italy ( in the Apulia region ) there are still ares in which they use the word "Cra" ( instead of "Tomorrow") to indicate the adverb"Tomorrow".


That's it for today; I must go, I have things to do or not..maybe later..


Pier.
