Language can be very instructive based on the commonality of meaning between certain words. Take the word ‘rank’. In one sense it represents the hierarchy of status for humans. It also means smelly or odoriferous. We routinely observe that people of higher social rank become more aromatically rank, confirming the shared origin of the word.

If you have polite and articulate comments, please provide them. Rants and flames are discarded.
You could probably also say the same about people of the very lowest social rank, apologies to the homeless but they most likely reek.
