"TheΒ earliest exampleΒ of a prosthesis ever discovered is not a leg, arm, or even a fake eye, itβs a toe. A big toe, belonging to a noblewoman, was found in Egypt and dated to between 950-710 B.C.E"

TIL Older forms of English kept Latinβs gender-specific suffixes -tor and -trix; tor is for men and trix is for women. So a male pilot is an aviator, a female pilot is an aviatrix. A male fighter is a gladiator, a female fighter is a gladiatrix.
This contrasts with the modern system, where tor is for both men and women, and trix are for kids.
