Juggernaut
To Die For Word of the Day:
The wordmap of Juggernaut gives a very handy connection to its source: Hindi Jagannath, an idol of Krishna that, according to legend, was "annually drawn on an enormous cart under whose wheels devotees are said to have thrown themselves to be crushed." From this comes the modern meaning of the word, an inexorable, overpowering force.
