Description:
The term 'kario' is taken from a Greek root for kernel, and was borrowed into Common during the great coining of scientific vocabulary in the 2050s. It is used as both the word for nucleus of an atom and nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.
Nuclear physics
In nuclear physics, the nucleus of an atom is 'na kario' and the adjectival form that means 'nuclear' is 'karios'.
Biology
In biology, 'na kario' is the nucleus of a cell. 'Zrakarios' means 'eukaryotic', and 'zrakariosyn' means 'eukaryote'. Similarly, 'waskarios' and 'waskariosyn' mean respectively 'prpkaryotic' and 'prokaryote'.
Colloquial speech
In colloquial speech, the modifier form 'karios' is used to mean 'extremely angry, having a tantrum' when applied to a person, or 'disastrous, deadly' when applied to a situation. The pro-nuclear faction amongst the NWO elite like to decry this usage because they feel that it contributes to an unfairly negative view of nuclear power, but it is still very widespread.
