Adult comes from the Latin word adultus, which is the past participle of adolere (to make grow) see adolescent.
Adultery can be traced back to the Latin verb adulterare (to mix, to adulterate). The root of the former verb is -ol, and the root of the latter one is -ulter.

How would g'ma have known?

One brother had the first talk on the ministry school one Thur night and kept mispronouncing the word ardor, as arDOR. Read a scripture containing the word and then kept trying to explain and define the word, all the while saying arDOR. I thought, OH is he saying ARdor?
I don't know why but it was so irritating.
LOL!
Try listening to someone pronouncing flush for flesh.
