Glenn, I hope your wrong and the dictionary is right: tes·ti·fy
ˈtestəˌfī/ late Middle English: from Latin testificari, from testis ‘a witness.’

Of course it doesn't say WHAT was witnessed, so you might be right. What do I know? I thought Easter was the planting festival, not some Satanic ritual involving disguised genitals.

rrg:

Droll, I expect you know (but will preach anyway) that there's a solid technical reason for calling that bug "heartbleed" on account of the specific vulnerability that it exploits. I thought it was rather clever. Not anthropomorphizing but just choosing a name that's to the point and memorable.
  3:29pm
Grammar Bug:

i wasnt gonna correct glenn, but since droll did -- it's not an etymological connection but a very ancient Latin pun. In a passage in the Rhetorica ad Herennium (1C BCE), the author is giving advice about memorizing topics for a legal speech, and says "for example, in order to remember that you need to mention the testes (witnesses, Latin) in your legal speech, just visualize a pair of testes (testicles)." That would be vivid enough to make you remember that topic.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 3:29pm

Also, AP and Ken, the fact that a site is not currently vulnerable in itself says nothing about whether it was vulnerable previously.

Avatar 3:36pm
Droll:

rrg, Yes, yes... I do understand heartbleed is a pun (they're everywhere today!) on the heartbeat feature it exploits. I don't recall anyone talking about a bridge collapse as "bones breaking in the bridge's skeleton", or any physicist talking about "The little atom guys running around throwing dice to decide where to put their electrons next". It's a sign of an immature field.

because testes and testes sound the same. just as here and hear do. take it or leave it. there's a lot of pop of folk etymology out there in the world. you can accept it at face value, or not :)

I thought the connection between the two meanings of testis/testes was that your testicles (testiculum = little witness) were the "witnesses" of your manhood. So, testicles would come from testify, not the other way around. Not saying that's a fact, just what I recall reading on the matter.

OK, given the resistance I'll break down and give a cite. -- From Perseus, the classical studies site at Tufts, quoting Lewis & Short, a standard public-domain Latin etymological dictionary:

"testis1... a witness....

testis2... a testicle [many quotations].... In a pun, with testis1 [more quotes, from writers of comedy plays and sexual poetry]"

Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:17pm
mariano:

@Grammar Bug: Right, but does it say that they both derive from the same Indo-European root word, or that the resemblance is coincidental? I'm just curious. The Perseus citation seems to say that the witness meaning was first, then the anatomical one, which would be in keeping with the utilitarian nature of some Latin anatomical terms (eg vagina = sheath, etc).

Grammar Bug:

@mariano -- never meant to go into so much detail, i need to finish paid work, but here goes:
note that testa is pot in Latin, hence French tete (head), and testa may or may not be related to testis/testicle. so yes, body parts were named by metaphor sometimes in Latin.

if we go to PIE, 5000 freaking years ago, testis is from the root trei = three, a witness being a *third* person who witnessed what happened in a lawsuit and can testify about it -- see calvin watkins' dictionary of PIE
