As far as English is concerned, the root of curiosity is curiosity. It was not formed from curious. The real question here is where the latter got its second u from. The French original did not. What is the meaning of "out of curiosity"? Could it mean out of ideas? Or maybe it means he is curious? How should I know what he means? I remember hearing once a three-part expression but have not been able to remember or find the third part in years. Curiosity killed the cat. Satisfaction brought him back. What is the third? I'm looking for a word that describes a curious, interested state of mind- open minded, exploring, wondering, but without being nosy.
