Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Start with a ten letter word that means to cause to burn or to reduce to ashes.

Answer: Incinerate

 To incinerate is to burn something completely until it is reduced to ashes. "Incinerate" is derived from medieval Latin. In Latin "in-" is a causative prefix while "cinis" or "ciner" refers to ashes.

This question was a collaboration between Phoenix Rising members zonko and purelyqing.
2. Now remove a letter and rearrange the remaining to form a word that represents a smooth skin fruit that resembles a peach.

Answer: Nectarine

This question was a collaboration between Phoenix Rising members zonko and pollucci 19.
3. Remove one letter and anagram the remainder to form a word that means admission.

Answer: Entrance

 Entrance can be a noun or a verb. As a noun, it is a point of entry or can be the first entry by an actor into scene. Jaknginger saw "Hello, Dolly!" performed this weekend and Sally Struthers made a grand entrance!

This question was a collaboration between Phoenix Rising members zonko and jaknginger.
4. Take away one letter and arrange what remains to create a word that means a small flask for carrying drinking water.

Answer: Canteen

 A canteen is a portable water container usually fitted with a shoulder strap or attached to a belt. Some canteens also include a nested cup but can be drunk from directly. Many are covered in cloth bag and padding for insulation and protection. Canteen can also mean a dining hall, snack bar or a social club, usually on a military base or a school.

This question was a collaboration between Phoenix Rising members zonko and TAKROM.
5. Burn one of your letters and alter the rest to create a word that means to tidy up.

Answer: Neaten

 The verb 'neaten' derives ultimately from the Latin 'nitidus' meaning elegant or gleaming. Over time it has extended its meaning to include the tidying the edges of fabric, trimming a beard or creating order from confusion.

This question was a collaboration between Phoenix Rising members zonko and VegemiteKid.
6. Get rid of one more letter and anagram the remaining ones and make a word that means a blood relative from your mother's side of the family.

Answer: Enate

 Enate evolved from the Latin word 'enatus' meaning to issue forth, to be born. It has come to mean related through the female members of the family, and any maternal female member of the family is enate.

This question was a collaboration between Phoenix Rising members zonko and TAKROM.
7. Lose another letter, mix up the rest and you may find the name of an active volcano from Eastern Sicily.

Answer: Etna

 Etna, or more commonly Mount Etna, is an active volcano on the island of Sicily, Italy. It is the largest active volcano in Italy, more than twice the height of the Mount Vesuvius, which is the second largest. Adrian Room, a 20th-century British toponymist, states that "Etna" is derived from "attuna", a Phoenician word meaning "furnace" or "chimney". He disregards the possible Greek origin of "Etna", which suggests that "Etna" comes from the Greek word "aitho" that translates as "I burn".

This question was a collaboration between Phoenix Rising members zonko and purelyqing.

Answer: Eat
