-title: Why is it called Ardour?
----                        
-  
-<p>
-  The name <dfn>"Ardour"</dfn> came from considerations of how to pronounce the acronym
-  <abbr title="Hard Disk Recorder">HDR</abbr>. The most obvious attempt sounds
-  like a vowelless "harder" and it then was then a short step to an unrelated
-  but slightly homophonic word:
-</p>
-<blockquote>
-  <p>
-    <dfn>ardour</dfn> n 1: a feeling of strong eagerness (usually in favor of
-    a person or cause); "they were imbued with a revolutionary ardor"; "he 
-    felt a kind of religious zeal" [syn: ardor, elan, zeal]<br />
-    2: intense feeling of love [syn: ardor]<br /> 
-    3: feelings of great warmth and intensity; "he spoke with great ardor" 
-    [syn: ardor, fervor, fervour, fervency, fire, fervidness]
-  </p>
-</blockquote>
-<p>
-  Given the work required to develop Ardour, and the personality of its
-  primary author, the name seemed appropriate even without the vague
-  relationship to HDR.
-</p>
-<p>
-  Years later, another interpretation of "Ardour" appeared, this time based
-  on listening to non-native English speakers attempt to pronounce the word.
-  Rather than "Ardour", it became "Our DAW", which seemed poetically fitting
-  for a Digital Audio Workstation whose source code and design belongs to a
-  group of collaborators.
