When I created this nick I was reading a philosophy book which said Aristotle was called the "paradox log" because he talked using paradoxes. I didnt want to seem a philosopher, I just liked the reference. Rarely I have not find any mention to that out of books.

Ummmm. As an newbie, I was only searching for long and complicated words. I settled with excogitator after I found it means "a thinker who considers carefully and thoroughly".
I'm still lost on what exactly I'm supposed to consider thinking about.

interesting that excogitate is so similar to exfoliate[ex-foli-ate]

I wonder what cogito means? Rene Descarte uttered the famous sentece "cogito ergo sum", I think, therefore I am.

cogito - think

ex - means to originate, emanate, enormous, proceeding from.

Oh well

Thanks Insui. Finally something for me to think and consider

**MariusJP** · July 4th, 2012, 10:29 AM

Actually cogitus is think, cogito is the dativus of cogitus.

aha, so -ator indicates the person?(as in dictator, terminator, aggitator)

Latin translations always sounds humbug, like -"oh yeah, like that really means that!"

ex-cogit-ator is more or like "emanating/originating thoughts from a person"?

correct?

like biblioator = He who is an book?
