I would go for Latin roots. Just for fun (since I got to know the word by chance).
Ager is connected with farms, fields and soil, so maybe it �s all about the lands of Asia? :D Although I like age-connected definitions more.

Frank: OK, folks, this week �s fun project: how to use the English language to make otherwise intelligent people talk gibberish. Any ideas? Student 1: How about a guessing game where you come up with some nonsense word like, oh... ager...ageras...agerasia, or something? Student 2: And people have got to guess the meaning, ha ha! Frank: Nah, it �ll never work.

Well, it �s basically a Greek word, but since not everyone was blessed to be a Greek (ha, ha  ) I won �t say what it actually means. Instead I will give everyone a hint. The a in the begginning is a negative prefix, like un-. And aging was pretty close.... |

When you think of the parts of the word and their meanings it is quite easy to guess. But I love some of the ideas you came to:-))))) Appreciate the sense of humor of some of you:-)

ager=a person who ages quickly
asia=a young girl
agerasia = a young girl who aged before her time. Probably due to hard labour. |

As this is about to go under I �d better give the answer.
Excellent answers everyone, your sense of humour is top notch!
Alex, no it �ll never work. Look at it this way, at least I get to talk even more nonsense than I usually do, and that takes some doing Thanks for playing guys.
The answer is; The state of looking younger than one actually is.
Today �s funniest answer (as chosen by a panel of distinguished non-existant entities) is;
Frank, this time you have given us a person �s name!!
I know one Agerasia who lives in Brazil  , she is a lovely and beautiful woman!
So Baiba, send me a pm with your preferred subject for a poem and I will arrange someone to write it for you. |
