Only a competitive scrabble player...

could study a word, even play it in a game half a dozen times, and still not know what it means.

My wife told me about a company website she was working on today, Etesian Technologies.. of course I said, 'wait, you mean E-T-E-S-I-A-N? cool!' I was going to explain to her that it could be formed from TISANE plus E, considered by many to be the top 6 letter bingo stem, but I don't think she shared my enthusiasm.

And then I realized I had no idea what etesian meant. So here it is:

ETESIAN an annually recurring wind. (pl. -S)

I don't think I would have known it took an S... good to learn!
