Puzzle from December 2002 Mensagenda
Donna's Diary
by Donna Myhrer
The Joy of The Season
Whatever else may be going on in your life this month, I want to convey my hopes for the
Joy of the Season for all of you. With that in mind, I have assembled a number of words
that all mean “Joyful” and I will list their derivations and the number of letters in each one.
All you have to do is to find the word, all of which are used in their adjective form (e.g.,
joyful rather than joy). To make this quiz really easy, I put the answers in alphabetical
order. The answers are here.
1. Anglo-Saxon for “sweet.” (6 letters)
2. Latin for “shackle.” (7 letters)
3. Greek for “the head.” (8 letters)
4. Latin for “to bear abundantly.” (9 letters)
5. Old High German for “lively.” (6 letters)
6. French for “brilliant.” (3 letters)
7. Anglo-Saxon for “shining.” (4 letters)
8. Anglo-Saxon for “music.” (7 letters)
9. Middle English for “good luck.” (5 letters)
10. French for “genteel.” (6 letters)
11. Latin for “of Jupiter.” (6 letters)
12. Old High German for “fragile” or “transitory.” (5 letters)
13. Anglo-Saxon for “pleasant.” (8 letters)
14. Latin for “spoke of a wheel.” (7 letters)
15. Swedish for “smirk.” (7 letters)
16. Latin for “to live.” (9 letters)
17. French for “orange peel.” (5 letters)
