On Moving
For the past two years I have lived in the basement.
Base.
1 The lowest part or edge of something, esp. the part on which it rests or is supported. 2 a conceptual structure or entity on which something draws or depends. 3 the main place where a person works or stays. 4 a main or important element or ingredient to which other things are added. 5 use as a point from which something can develop. 6 without moral principles; ignoble.
From Old French bas, from medieval Latin bassus "short". The senses in late Middle English included low, short and of inferior quality; from the latter arose a sense low on the social scale, menial and hence reprehensibly cowardly, selfish, or mean.
Now I live on ground level. My room has two very large windows and with one small window in my closet.
Window.
1 an opening in the wall or roof of a building or vehicle that is fitted with glass or other transparent material in a frame to admit light or air and allow people to see out. 2 a thing resembling such an opening in form or function. 3 an interval or opportunity for action.
From Old Norse vindauga, from vinder 'wind' + auga 'eye'
