this caught my eye
I was reading an article on ancient plague when the author used the Line "The plague decimated the roman legions."
Im just wondering if there is a word for that kind of word usage. In the sense that decimation to a roman legion would of meant 1 in 10 men being taken out and executed which evolved to the word decimation we use today. I just found it interesting that the author chose to use that word.
