<div align="center">Alrighty Blue... Just for you...

The Etymology Game</div>

<div align="center">Etymology is the history of a particular word or the study of historical changes of a word.

Soooo basically the game is played like a word association game.
But instead of simply listing the word you associate with the previously posted word, you also include it&#39;s definintion and it&#39;s etymology.


eg.

1st post - Word: Defininiton + Etymology

Next post - Word: Definition + Etymology

Next post - Word: Definition + Etymology

& so on and so on


The point of this all?

Just have a geekly good ol time learning new words, their meanings and histories.

(((the etymology is usually found at the very bottom of a word&#39;s definition)))</div>




Since this is inspired by Blue Meanie... I&#39;ll start off with:


Blue [bloo]

2. depressed in spirits; dejected; melancholy
3. marked with blashpemy: The air was blue with oaths.
verb
