What does the word mortgage mean? It may surprise you.

Mort –
1) a note sounded on a hunting horn when the a deer is killed.
2) killing

Gage –
1) a token of defiance; specifically: a glove or cap cast on the ground to be taken up by an opponent as a pledge of combat.
2) something deposited as a pledge of performance.
3) pledge, stake, or risk.

There isn’t anything about those word meanings that give me a good feeling. How about you?
