Steve Kurtz (Pajama Guy) asks:
1. We’ve all heard of the Mississippi River Delta. Why on earth is it called a “Delta”?
2. What profession were the original “hypocrites”?
3. What animal is at the heart of “tragedy”?
4. What fruit is at the root of a “sycophant”?
5. What common household item is involved in “ostracism”?
Cool. I knew the answers to 1 and 5, but not 2, 3, and 4.
