Add derivation of thunk
Thunks have always confused me, and this is solely due to the fact that I never fully understood the word. Just knowing the specialized sense of a word does not clear up confusion when you have no idea where the word came from. I have always been asking "but *why* is it called thunk?" This has honestly blown me off of Redux entirely for two years. I finally took the effort to find out. I'm proposing we add the derivation of the term and its source, which will help greatly in clearing up understanding for people.

The term [originated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunk#cite_note-1) as a humorous past-tense version of "think".
