This word came to mind as I caught sight of myself in a mirror!

It looks like the roots of this one are in question, with some places saying it's unclear, others saying rather definitely that it's from the same root as jaundice (another word we haven't seen here).

It's been a few months since this went up. I do hope you're feeling better.
