Since LAM hasn't put anything down, I'll go: Nequient

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 1:15:54 PM)
If that's really a word, it has to mean "being unable." Nequire means "to be unable." Next one..."athanasy"

mnottertail -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 1:24:59 PM)

bandit25 -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 3:44:45 PM)
Of course it's really a word. And that is the definition.

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 6:45:38 PM)
Everyone is getting "athanasy" wrong.

Tikkiee -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 7:15:08 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster Everyone is getting "athanasy" wrong. Ok, if it's not dead, then let me try death-like?

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 7:34:09 PM)
"Athanasy" means "immortality." Thanatos means "death," so athanasia means "the state of having no death." "Euthanasia," which Ron mentioned, is obviously related. It means literally "having a good death." Other words from the same root are "thanatopsis" (which we've done), "thanatology," "thanatic," and so on. Next one..."mandarinate"

bandit25 -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 9:10:28 PM)
Mandarin - chinese ate- hmmm...some kind of body...a specific group of Chinese people

FootQueen -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 9:35:51 PM)
mandarinate-collective body of officials or persons of rank in China new: nomenklatura

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 9:37:02 PM)
Heh, good one. The nomenklatura is the Communist mandarinate. Next one..."cerulean"

FootQueen -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 9:41:59 PM)
sky-blue color [8\|]

Lordandmaster -> RE: Word Fight (4/26/2006 9:42:45 PM)
Yup, and by extension, pertaining to Heaven. Your turn.
