"Scurvy" is a word in ENGLISH
A disease characterized by livid spots, especially about
the thighs and legs, due to extravasation of blood, and by spongy gums,
and bleeding from almost all the mucous membranes. It is accompanied by
paleness, languor, depression, and general debility. It is occasioned
by confinement, innutritious food, and hard labor, but especially by
lack of fresh vegetable food, or confinement for a long time to a
limited range of food, which is incapable of repairing the waste of the
system. It was formerly prevalent among sailors and soldiers.
Vile; mean; low; vulgar; contemptible.
Covered or affected with scurf or scabs; scabby; scurfy;
specifically, diseased with the scurvy.
As the Roman Empire came to its close, all the old gods of the pagan world were seen as demons by the Christians who rose. It was useless to tell them as the centuries passed that their Christ was but another God of the Wood, dying and rising, as Dionysus or Osiris had done before him, and that the Virgin Mary was in fact the Good Mother again enshrined. Theirs was a new age of belief and conviction, and in it we became devils, detached from what they believed, as old knowledge was forgotten or misunderstood.
