Syme is one of Winstonâs âfriendsâ he is a philologist, who specializes in Newspeak. He is on a team of people working on the eleventh edition of the newspeak dictionary. I think he is decribed as venomously orthodox, because he is just a person who could have a lot of passion towards something, but big brother has made everything all about him and now Syme only cares about Newspeak and the party.
Sycamore [N] [S] more properly sycomore (Heb. shikmoth and shikmim, Gr. sycomoros), a tree which in its general character resembles the fig-tree, while its leaves resemble those of the mulberry; hence it is called the fig-mulberry (Ficus sycomorus). At Jericho, Zacchaeus climbed a sycomore-tree to see Jesus as he passed by ( Luke 19:4 ).
