What's in a Name?



The "immutable value system" which conservatives trumpet as their raison d'être is embodied in the definition of a single word. Conveniently, that word also happens to be the surname of the one known as "The Architect" of the current version of the conservative movement.

That word is...

rove 1 |rōv|
noun [in sing. ]
a journey, esp. one with no specific destination; an act of wandering

ORIGIN late 15th cent. (originally a term in archery in the sense [shoot at a casual mark of undetermined range] ): perhaps from dialect rave [to stray,] probably of Scandinavian origin.
