About This Root

From Greek hodos (way, path, road). Appears in electrode (the path of electric current), episode (originally 'coming in' between acts), and melodic (from melos + ode, 'song-path'). Also gives us ode itself — a lyric poem, originally 'sung along a way.' Parody literally means 'beside-song.'
