I choose a word and try to write something around that word. My comments may have little to do with the actual word. I chose these words for how they sound, not because they mean anything to me, making the commentary that I add to the words a bit of a challenge sometimes. This used to be called "Word of the Day" but since I don't do it every day I changed the name to "What's the Word?" This exercise is a writing prompt and is not about word origins or proper usage.
