XRpredator said:A bonfire (sometimes mispronounced 'bombfire') is a large controlled outdoor fire made from bales of straw or wood. The word is believed to be a corruption of "bone fire" deriving from a Celtic midsummer festival where animal bones were burnt to ward off evil spirits.
Jury rigging refers to makeshift repairs or substitutes, made with only the tools and materials that happen to be on hand. Originally a nautical term, on sailing ships a jury rig is a replacement mast and yards improvised in case of damage or loss of the original mast. The use of the word "jury" in this sense dates back to at least 1719, when it appeared in Daniel Defoe's novel The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. There are various theories about the origin of this usage of "jury":
- From the Latin adiutare ("to aid") via Old French ajurie ("help or relief").
- "Jury-mast" derived from "injury-mast".
- From the French du jour ("of the day"), and thus temporary
