- Apolitical means "not political"
- Amuse means...well, it should mean, "not thinking"
then why does await or awaiting not mean "not waiting?"
I read this earlier question (Is there a real difference between wait and await?) but this seems interested in the meaning.
One co-worker passed it off as "another example of why English makes no sense."
I'm hoping for a better explanation or at least some literary historic context.
