The Reverse Other-Wordly Meme

Words are magical things; they can have so many lovely connotations and varied histories.
Words have family trees just like people. They are linked to each other.
Some words are full of flavor and color and describe things you never suspected there were words for.
Words are why we're here.

We've had the reverse picture prompt meme, why not the reverse other-wordly meme? Post a comment with your muse's name and canon in the subject line, and list any preferences you may have. Then head on over to the Other-Wordly blog and hit Random until you get a word. Post one or several, whatever speaks to you and your character!

Responders, use the word(s) as a prompt to write up an RP scenario. Mix and match. Have fun with it! Don't stop with a word, though! Words can often have etymologies that are at odds with their current meanings. Words can shift connotations over time. Let your imagination carry you with the words as its wind.

((Some info! I'm particularly interested in having Agate stumble into anyone who might have tipped their hand about some kind of psionic powers or other supernatural fanciness. He's on a mission to figure out meme-city and right now that involves linking together ~~amusing~~ useful people!))
