1. Two words, but hyphenated; we’ll allow it. 2. German for “art.” 3. It’s a real word: “Having the same essence.” Someone’s getting his money’s worth from that Word of the Day app. 4. Because the submitter finds its definition (“… the edible portion consisting of pleasantly acid flesh …”) sexy, and thus a good omen. 5.
