hi Jolan
I am very late looking in today and it looks as though I will have zero again, but maybe a coffee or two will inspire.

1 NOISOME - definition "disgusting"; noise (sound) is "out of " (around) OM (Order of Merit)

2 NIDUS - Latin for "nest" or "breeding-place"; DIN (row) back, then US (UnServiceable).

I knew this one from Neottia nidus-avis, the "birdsnest orchid"

No more, I fear!


Thanks, jolan, once again.

Hi aristo
You were right about #5 - a real cracker!

#4 still means nothing to me.

ELATIVE is another word that I've never come across, jolan - very tricky!

Very good, ginge. I was trying to find a family member to drop the first letter from, but just didn't see it.
