And wouldn't you like to keep your member?
I'd have to disagree with port.
How about:
...prive
...spicable
...lete
...port
All 'de-' words :)
monstrate? gamy? ligion? furcate? heveled?
Thanks for the correction on "ocular," BTW.
True, removing one prefix would leave you with "defatigable." But I found it more whimsical to go all the way and take 'em both. And this list is nothing if not chock-a-block with whimsy.
Fatigue is being tired. Fatigable means "capable of being fatigued". Indefatigable means "incapable of being fatigued". Therefore, the word you should have is "defatigable".
Indeed! Where are my manners? I should have thanked you here as well as at my own list. Off to add incontrovertible...
That's right in line with "fatigable" and "peccable," so I'm all for it. And I'm glad I could help with your list. :-)
Thanks for helping me have fun here, everyone! My favorite part about this list is reading a "word" (most here aren't, obviously) and having to think a second before recognizing the commonly used modified form. Probaly why I loved "ert" so much, and because it sounds like yurt.
Oh, I really am a wordie, aren't I? :-D
Explicable seems, well, perfectly explicable. But maybe plicable deserves a berth?
Actually, binocular decomposes into bin(like binary) and ocular. Ocular is a perfectly acceptable word.
So, my OAED says that ignominy and apopleptic aren't strictly compound words, at least not at the natural divisions one would expect. (It would seem to need to be "gnominy," the word having come from "gnomen.") Infer, however, is a straightforward prefix, and an excellent addition. :-) Thanks!
fer
nominy, poplectic
morse or morseless...you pick
nocular?
Thank you all! I think "ert" is my favorite so far. :-D
Also, about peach(ment): I feel that will go nicely with (cu)cumber.
well, now i've DEFINITELY gotta make this a favorite! ;^)
crepit, dain, prave
How about "peach" ;-)
couth, ert
