Here’s what I found: The place name is from a southern New England Algonquian language and perhaps means "small, long place."

Scottish. To goad.

I know this has been submitted previously. However, I can’t resist, as someone I corresponded with used this ancient Latin word appropriately. Unusually fond of or submissive to a wife. I don’t know if the root had traction in any other language. As far as I know, which isn’t far, no Romance languag...

To me a review is NOT a thorough examination. Peruse is.

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

The word ambergris comes from the Old French "ambre gris" or "grey amber". It is whale vomit and used to fix the scent compounds in perfume.

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.

From French, toupet, who received it from German, topf, meaning tuft of hair, which also gave us top.

The PIE stem produced an abundance of useful words: Court, cohort. Even the stem of the stem, hortus, meaning garden.
But cortège, itself refers to a solemn procession.

In good standing. Of Germanic origin and thus PIE, stand. Also in German Stadt, and Dutch, Stad, for town.

To impoverish.

From Latin, to drink, according to one dictionary. we pilfered it from French. But now I am confused, as I see from today’s Goodword that the verb for to drink in Latin is bibere. Is there a subtle distinction I am missing?

Nice one call copse.
