Yes, you read the headline correctly. This weeks prompt is “eco.” Linda Hill advises that we go find a word the begins with eco or has eco in it.

Eco by John W. Howell © 2018
“so what did she say?”
“That we need to come up with words that start with eco or have eco in them.”
“Not too tough. I can think of ten right off the top of my head.”
“Yeah right. I can’t think of one. Wait. Economy.”
“Wow, you are a regular linguist.”
“Can you do better?”
“Humm how about economic, ecotourism, ecospecies, ecosystems, ecospheres, economised, economise, economized?”
“Okay pretty good. Where did you get those?”
“Looked em up on Google.”
“NO FAIR. You are cheating.”
“Okay, so you want to fail the prompt?”
“Well. no.”
“Go ahead. look up words that have eco in them.”
“I don’t feel right about that.”
“Go ahead you whimp.”
“Okay. Yikes. Antieconomic, arecoline, arecoline, arecolines, autecological, autecologies, autecology.”
“Have any idea what those words mean?”
“Not a clue.”
“Doesn’t matter. Our job is done.”
“What are you talking about? We haven’t done anything.”
“We completed the prompt and did economically.”
“But not with what I would consider proper decorum.”
“The speed is what you can reconcile.”
“I won’t accept that for a millisecond.”
“Hold your precoded principles and lose the prompt.”
“Okay, you win. I will recode to win.”
“Recodification is next to godliness.”
“Right.”

That seems like a tough one. Especially if you look for words with ‘eco’ inside. Great job.

This was fun, John. You started with the obvious or easily discovered, and then you surprised us with the hidden “eco” words. That must be worth some extra Brownie points. Have a fabulous day. 😀
