    FLOOD • The word rain descends from the Indo-European (IE) root reg-2 which means “moist”. Its only paronym is irrigate which means “to supply (dry land) with water by means of ditches, pipes, or streams; water artificially.” Synonyms of irrigate include flood, flush, soak, and inundate. • The prefix hydro- descends from the IE root wed- which means “water, wet.” One of its paronyms is inundate which means “to cover with water” and “to overwhelm as if with a flood; swamp.” CRESCENT • The suffix -meter descends from the IE root me-2 which means “to measure.” One of its paronyms is moon. One of the definitions of crescent is “the figure of the moon as it appears in its first or last quarter, with concave and convex edges terminating in points.” • The keyword bow descends from bheug-3 which means “to bend.” Definitions of bow include “a bent, curved, or arched object.” Other definitions of crescent include “a curved shape that is wide in the middle and pointed at the ends.” Crescent and bow are synonyms. CURVES • The keyword bow descends from bheug-3 which means “to bend.” Definitions of bow include “a bent, curved, or arched object.” Among its paronyms is buxom (slightly fat in an attractive way with large breasts). Another paronym is akimbo (in or into a position in which the hands are on the hips and the elbows are bowed outward). One of the definitions of curve is “a rounded line or contour of the human body.” One of the definitions of its plural form, curves, is “something that curves or is curved, such as a bend in a road or the contour of a woman's body.” • As indicated above, one of the paronyms of –meter is moon. One of its slang definitions as a noun is “the bared buttocks.” A buttock is “either of the two rounded prominences on the human torso that are posterior to the hips.”
