winner word of the day: Anaram
 
The entrees for the word ATARAXIA were very varied but most of them sounded very plausable. From David �s black teeth and foul breath due to chewing tar before the invention of bubble gum, to Sarguero �s capital of Atlantis, all sounded as if they could be the real meaning. Even Ed �s suggestion it was the name of Santana �s album after �Abraxos � could fool some, I �m sure.
Well played everyone!
 
There can of course be only one winner, and I chose ANARAM.
Also ANARAM �s definition sounds totally plausable to me:
 
It �s a medical condition associated with the loss of control due to a deficiency of tar. People who suddendly give up smoking or switch to low tar cigarettes can suffer from this disease.
 
The real meaning of ATARAXIA, is actually quite the opposite:
 
a lucid state of robust tranquility, characterized by ongoing freedom from distress and worry.
 
May we all achieve ataraxia in our professional and personal lives, and carry on...
