the.com/quarry
A pit you dig stone from, or prey you chase — same word, opposite directions.
means Either an open excavation for cutting rock, or the animal or person being hunted.
from Two unrelated Latins collided: 'quadrum' (squared stone) for the pit, and 'corata' (entrails) for the hunt — medieval hunters fed the dead beast's guts to the hounds, and the reward became the target itself.
Twin wordsIdentical spelling, totally separate ancestry.
Hunting rootsNamed for guts given to the dogs.
Marble fameCarrara quarries fed Michelangelo's chisel.
