Words / Common vs. Uncommon pangrams form March 18th
« on: March 19, 2023, 08:51:27 PM »
I'm flabbergasted by two things:
  • "polypropylene" is considered a "common" word
  • its root word "propylene" is considered "uncommon"

I doubt anyone without a background in chemistry knows either word. But I'm further confused as to how adding the "poly" prefix to an alleged "uncommon" word suddenly makes it "common".
