Oh. Thanks. Sorry, I must have missed it.

Direct from Latin with the same meaning: third. As a bonus, we English speakers are able to use it as a noun and an adjective.

Ah, those Frenchies have the first and last word regarding cuisine. Gotta love em.

The restless race of the traveler's heart before the journey begins. Swedish.

From PIE, skelro, the root is skele, to parch, wither, harden. Root also found in skeleton. Figurative meaning of sclerotic in 1961.

Disposition to be merciful. From Latin, clemencia, for calmness. However, the PIE root, klei, means to lean. How this evolved is anyone’s guess.
