- So I'm supposed to define these:
-
- micturate
- urinate
- paroxysm
- fit
- syzygy
- [the root means "yoking-together"...I forget. It's an astronomical
- term having something to do with positions of planets.]
- fascicle
- [same root as "fascism" I think...something to do with a sheaf,
- something bundled together]
- crural
- [my memory said "having to do with the ankle" -- I looked it up
- and actually it's the thigh or leg, not the ankle]
-
- But these aren't the sort of words you use a thesaurus for.
