Scaevola revisited

Just thought you all would find this bit of info interesting:


                     42,n1. Scaevola is really a feminine adjective,
used as a noun,
                     meaning little left hand; but, being used as the
name of a man
                     (originally a nickname), it became masculine. 



That was taken from a web page on Latin.
