Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Compliment shamelessly.

Answer: flatter

The origin of "flatter" is uncertain. One postulation is that it comes from the Old French "flater" "to deceive; caress, fondle (amongst other meanings).

2. Stumble or hesitate.

Answer: falter

"Falter" may be from a Scandinavian word, "faltrask" "to be burdened, hesitate, or be troubled" or possibly from the Middle English "falden", "to fold".

3. Wild, untamed.

Answer: feral

"Feral" has Latin roots-"ferus" meant "wild"; the word "fierce" has similar roots.

4. Portion of a tree in which photosynthesis occurs.

Answer: leaf

Photosynthesis is the process of transforming light into chemical energy, which plants use for growth and nutrition.

5. Stout; hearty beer.

Answer: ale

Actually, ale is a type of beer. It is distinguished from lager (which is what people colloquially usually call beer). Lager and ale start out the same in terms of basic ingredients, but during fermentation ale is kept at a higher temperature than lager, and therefore matures more quickly. Generally, ale has a more intense flavor and a higher alcohol content than lager.

6. Abbreviation for Louisiana.

Answer: LA

Two-letter abbreviations for the names of states were instituted in 1963 by the US Postal Service. The abbreviations were adopted because ZIP codes were started in that year, and abbreviating the names of the states provided room for the 5-digit numbers.

7. Place where scientific research occurs.

Answer: lab

"Lab" is, of course, short for "laboratory", which comes from the Latin "laboratorium", meaning "place where work is done".

8. Hairless.

Answer: bald

"Bald" most probably comes from Middle English ad Celtic "ballede", the Celtic portion being "bal', meaning "white patch" and Middle English suffix-ede, denoting an adjective.

9. Bound hay for winter storage.

Answer: baled

The proto-Germanic root of "bale" is "bhel"-"to blow or swell", which eventually developed into the French "bale", meaning "rolled-up bundle".

10. Having a pitched roof that forms a triangle at its end.

Answer: gabled

Gables are a basic architectural feature. They are formed when two roof sections meet in an inverted V shape. The triangular wall that sits under the roof is the gable.
