COMMENTS:
This is a great idea--it's clear what root words the word comes from, and thus, it's easy to figure out the meaning. It's not random sounding, though. - Morwen, 2006-12-19: 05:38:00
I agree with Morwen, even if it doesn't quite convey the "bad threats" part of the definition. Still a great word, though. Gets my vote! - DarthWader, 2006-12-19: 08:12:00
