H is for Haptic

Today's post is based on Path of Angels, part three. I do love beating up my angel boys. *evil grin*

Haptic
1:  relating to or based on the sense of touch


2: characterized by a predilection for the sense of touch


Joe's feet left the floor and he crashed into a shelf, books falling. Dizziness made him unsteady as he stood. He shook the feeling away and glanced around. Where was he this time? It wasn’t easy to tell when in the past his haptic ability sent him.


A fire illuminated a quaint living room. In the corner, a man hunched over a table, examining a glass orb - the same one Joe held. He looked at the object, sighing heavily. This better not last long. He had more important things to do than watch past events unfold.

This one is entirely new to me! Where does it come from, etymologically? Greek? Latin?

Let's google it and see. Looks like it's originates from Greek. Merriam-Webster says "from Greek haptesthai to touch"

I happened upon your blog in the AtoZ challenge, and must say that I absolutely adore learning new words! Skillfully used, as well. I am sure I will visit again, to increase my chances at The New York Times crossword puzzle. Elizabeth <a href=http://31DaysEarlyIRise.com/>Rising Early, 31 Days</a>

One of my favorite words! I'm touched by your post - har! ;p

I worked with someone who majored in haptics in college. I was like, really? You can major in the sense of touch?
