WINNER WORD CONTEST
 
And the winner of the word contest is:

Anaram. Congratulations!

with a funny definition for Xanthippe:

  This is the medical term applied to the symptom of having light yellow urine. The symptom can be associated with pregnancy, different types of infections or dehydration among others causes.

The etymology of this word is quite unusual because it combines a Greek prefix (xhantic = yellow) with a colloquial term (pee).


And the real meaning of Xanthippe is:

1. flourished late 5th century b.c, wife of Socrates.
2. a scolding or ill-tempered wife; a shrewish woman

Now over to you Anaram.
