One of the very interesting aspects of English is the very visual nature of the language. The words themselves seem to encapsulate so much of the sense of the original meaning of the words and attribute the same characteristics to a new context. Quite often it isn't only the visual aspect that is sensed. The sounds can be heard as much as the smells and tastes too. Descriptive assimilation is probably the hallmark of the English language.
