<p>Decimate comes from a punishment in the Roman army where centurions were delegated to execute one in ten mutinous soldiers.</p>
<p>Although, it is <i>centurion</i>, not <i>centurian</i>. But your point is taken.</p>
<p>And I wouldn't get too upset about <i>decimate</i>. Long-term usage has dictated it move from the exact (one tenth) to the general (any large amount of destruction).</p>Tony.T commented on 'THREE OF THE BUST'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d83461f69553ef2005-09-30T00:43:41Z2007-08-18T18:12:05ZTony.Thttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/I don't mind off-subject, Kath, but I baulk at off-colour.

<p>Ever heard a cricket batsman who's just scored a ton described as a centurian. What? He was wearing a leather skirt, a breast plate and a dunny-brush helmet, was he?</p>
<p>The other is decimated: ie - New Orleans was decimated by Hurricane Katrina. Unless only one-tenth of the city - no more, no less - was destroyed by the hurricane, you're WRONG!</p>
