This test of word power at etymologic consists of ten questions, on pages that load quickly, and is both entertaining and informative. Learn some word origins. I have a fairly decent vocabulary, and got only 8 of the ten right, so it is reasonably challenging.

UPDATE: Okay, I can't get the link to work, even though it is exactly right. Feh.

Further update: I take back what I said about my fairly decent vocabulary. It is etymologic, not entymologic! D'oh! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] scapegoatee for pointing out the error.

one of the questions I got had a wrong answer... "testimony" has nothing to do with Greek testicles.

rejectomorph: from the Greek rejecto for "knows a lot about" and the Roman morph for "testicles of every derivation".
