Ending With.. Trivia Questions

1. What word means being resistant to a certain disease?

From Quiz
It Rhymes with "June"

Answer: immune

The immune system helps fight off certain disease-causing invaders like bacteria and viruses, therefore, the immune system helps keep a person healthy. The immune system weakens as a person gets older, meaning deadly diseases would develop more easily as there are fewer immune cells to help with healing.

2. Which 'ity' means rapidity?

From Quiz Suffix it to Say...

Answer: celerity

See how I used an 'ity' to define another 'ity'? Celerity is from the Latin (what isn't?) and means swiftness of motion or action, i.e., alacrity (ha!). It has nothing to do with vegetables but, rather, is closely associated with acceleration. Both words use the Latin root 'celer' meaning swift. Parity is from the Latin "paritas", i.e., equality (oops, I did it again). Asperity is harshness of tone or manner, abrasiveness. Pertinacity means stubbornness.

3. What word, ending in -key, describes a type of primate?

From Quiz Ten Keys

Answer: monkey

There are a number of kinds of primate. "Primate" technically refers to a biological order distinguished by the following (no member of the primate order exhibits all these traits but to qualify, an organism must exhibit some of them): -opposable thumbs -prehensile hands and feet -good vision, usually binocular -large brain with cortical folds -flattened nails instead of claws -a variety of physical structures/forms -extended periods of postnatal dependency There are two sub-categories of primate. Man and apes are in one category and, interestingly, lemurs are in the other!

4. What do we call a person such as Oedipus who kills his/her father?

From Quiz Cide Ways

Answer: Patricide

Parricide may refer either to the act of killing one's father, or to the person who does so. Pater means father in Latin. Matricide is killing one's mother. Fratricide is killing one's brother. Sororicide is killing one's sister. All are from Latin: mater=mother; frater=brother; soror=sister. Trypanocide means killing of trypanosomes, parasitic protozoa, usually in the bloodstream. Dominicide is the slaying of one's master. Vaticide is the killing of a prophet.

5. Have you ever noticed that there are many English terms ending in -nym? What are the words whose individual letters signify other words?

From Quiz Words Endings (-nym) Definitions

Answer: acronym

NATO is an example of an acronym. It stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. Since it is pronounced as a word, and not by simply stating the letters used, it is an acronym. It can also be called an initialism or acrostic, but these terms also apply to 'words' that are read out as the series of letters. An example of this is WHO, which stands for the World Health Organisation, but is pronounced by naming the letters one at a time.

Answer: Hibernation

Hibernation is a process through which a number of types of animals lower their metabolism in order to withstand harsher winter months when food, daylight, and warmth are scarce, and it's a natural occurrence brought on by evolutionary needs of creatures like bears and rodents. The reverse process, in which creatures sleep during the summer, is known as aestivation, and it's typically reserved for creatures that would otherwise find it extremely tough to survive in hot and dry climes.

15. What word means a melody as well as the act of modifying the sound of a musical instrument?

From Quiz Suffix it to Say...

Answer: the branch of science dealing with the production of crops

If you got it wrong, no need for an apology! The terms agrology and agronomy are often interchangeable except in Canada, where agrology is the broader term for a science-based regulated profession, while agronomy is defined as above, i.e., the specific science dealing with crop production. The study of grasses is agrostology; the study of cells is called cariology; the branch of pathology that studies disease on a cellular level is named cytopathology.

17. What word, ending in -key, is a symbol of the U.S. Democratic party?

From Quiz Ten Keys

Answer: donkey

And the Republicans are represented by an elephant. The donkey was first used by Andrew Jackson on his campaign posters after a newspaper journalist called him a jackass during his run for President in 1828.

18. If a person has been the victim of regicide, what would have been the deceased's position in life?

From Quiz Funny Cide

Answer: monarch

Again a word taken from Latin, rex is the word for a king and regis means 'of the King'. The term regicide can refer to the killing of any ruling sovereign, and also, as with many -cide words, the person guilty of the killing. The term was originally used in the UK for the execution of a monarch, which had been decreed following their trial. The execution of King Charles I of England in 1649 was an early example. There are also references to regicide in literature. A couple of the most well-known come from the works of Shakespeare - in 'Macbeth', where Macbeth kills King Duncan and later gains the throne of Scotland, and also in 'Hamlet', as Hamlet's uncle Claudius had killed his brother and married the widow in order to accede to the throne of Denmark.

19. What precisely does autocide mean?

From Quiz Cide Ways

Answer: Killing oneself using a vehicle

Autocide is suicide specifically by using a car or its parts, whether by wrecking it, plunging off a cliff or using the exhaust to inhale. The word automobile simply means self moving. Parasuicide refers to an attempted suicide. Vehicular homicide is killing another person using a car, bus, or truck, etc. Manslaughter is the unintentional killing of a person. Murder is the intentional killing of a person.

20. With another example of -nym English words, we have words that are opposite to one another, such as bad and good or new and used. What -nym word describes this English word relation?

From Quiz Words Endings (-nym) Definitions

Answer: antonym

Antonyms might define extremes as with scientific measurements and word relations. In this case, the adjective pairs would be used to describe objects whose qualities are opposites.

21. Travel was not fast enough for me that WAY, so I boarded a plane. Howvever, before we could speed down the RUNWAY and take a westbound AIRWAY, we needed to slowly travel down which WAY?

From Quiz My Way

Answer: Taxiway

The connecting strips of concrete leading airplanes between the terminal building and the runways are called taxiways. Taxiing is the movement of aircraft on the ground on their own power; planes being pushed or pulled are not considered taxiing. In contrast to runways which bear a numerical designation, taxiways are identified by letter designations.
