What does the root word gust mean?

The root word "gust" comes from the Latin word "gustus," meaning taste.

While it's not as commonly used as other Latin roots, it shows up in words like:

* Gustatory: Relating to the sense of taste.

* Gustation: The act or sense of tasting.

* Disgust: A strong aversion or dislike, often related to something distasteful.

Interestingly, while "gust" itself isn't used in many words, it's related to the word "gusto," which means enthusiasm, zest, or vigor. This is a reminder that language can evolve and words can take on new meanings over time.
