type of shoe, late 14c., from O.Fr. sandale, from L. sandalium, from Gk. sandalion, dim. of sandalon "sandal," of unknown origin, perhaps from Persian.
It probably comes from the name of the plant (Santalum album) used by Greeks to make elegant footwear.
@FedericoConcas What about "flip flops" : type of shoe, late 12c derived from Roman Flipitus Floptius, an ancient king who had three cats, all of whom were female and liked to lick one another.
Another mistake: There is a problem about where to measure the base of a mountain, so that the highest mountain makes more sense than the tallest mountain.
Mistake:escalader is "Someone who gains access by the use of ladders", the correct word should be ESCALATOR,that means :"A stairway whose steps move continuously on a circulating belt"
