Here's what the "Frugal Advisor" has (Bill's first link):
2) euphelicia \ue fe lis' i a\ (noun): healthiness resulting from having all one's wishes granted
But this makes little sense, to me. The first thing I'd think about anybody (wish it were I!) who has all their wishes granted would be that they were happy, not healthy; unless they specified mental healthiness, which this didn't do, and that would be odd, anyway.
Wow--some of the words and def.'s here are so incredible that I'd be tempted to say they were made up, but I recognize a few of them. For ex., did you-all know there's a word for being able to speak only at night? hemeraphonia. Here's an interesting one, particularly for a certain board member: "gymnophobia \jim noe foe' bi a\ (noun): fear of nudity". And a couple that I thought sounded made-up: "stomachous \stum' e kes\ (adjective): obstinate; angry"; and, "pilgarlic \pil gor' lik\ (noun): a bald head that looks like peeled garlic".
Ohhhh, Dr. Bill...I think I just found a new near-favorite word: "dulciloquy \dul sil' e kwee\ (noun): softness in speaking". I love the meaning, and I LOVE the sound, nice and slow: dul-SILL-lohh-kwee... Thank you!![]()
