Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Don't get me wrong; I just want you to enter an "INT" word that means to explain, translate, or understand incorrectly.

Answer: Misinterpret

Reportedly in use since the 1500s, "misinterpret" attaches the prefix "mis" meaning bad or wrong to the verb "interpret" which comes from the Latin "interpretari" meaning to explain or understand.

2. You'll want to rush to write down this "INT" word that means to run a short distance at full speed.

Answer: Sprint

Believed to have evolved from the Old Norse word for leap or spring in the 1500s, the modern usage of sprint meaning "to run a short distance at full speed" first appeared in the 1800s. Besides being a verb, sprint is also a noun referring to a short burst of running.

3. Think large or small and enter an "INT" word that means the lower part of the alimentary canal.

Answer: Intestine

Evolving from the Latin word "intestinum" for gut, the noun "intestine" or "intestines" came into use around 1500. As an adjective, the word "intestine" means internal or civil; it also evolved from Latin but from the word "intus" for within.

4. Be smart and fill in an "INT" word meaning clever or quick to understand.

Answer: Intelligent

The adjective "intelligent" came into use around 1500, but the noun "intelligence", from which it was formed, evolved earlier. "Intelligence" reportedly was in use in Old French since the 12th century and had evolved from the Latin "intelligentia" meaning understanding, knowledge or power of discerning.

5. You've been designated to enter an "INT" word meaning to apply oil or ointment, especially as a ritual.

Answer: Anoint

Originally from Latin, "anoint" came to English via Old French in the 1300s. The French version was "enoint" meaning smeared on, and the word had evolved from the Latin "inunguere". "Anoint" can also mean to choose, select, or appoint.

6. This is just a friendly request to fill in an "INT" word meaning a person one knows slightly.

Answer: Acquaintance

Another word that came to English from Latin via Old French, "acquaintance", meaning the state of being acquainted, was first used back in the 1300s, as was the verb "acquaint". The words evolved from the Latin "accognitus".

7. Think positive and write down an "INT" word that means a whole number.

Answer: Integer

Appearing in English around the late 1500s, the noun "integer" came from the same word in Latin meaning intact, complete or whole. "Integer" had actually been used earlier in the 1500s in English as an adjective with the same meaning.

8. Let me cut in here, and ask for an "INT" word that means to stop, catch, or seize something on its way to another destination (think American football or military operations).

Answer: Intercept

Coming from the Latin word "interceptus" meaning to take or seize in passing, the English verb "intercept" has been used since the 1400s. As a noun, "intercept" came into use in the 1800s.

9. Do your best and fill in an "INT" word that as a noun, is associated with wine, or as an adjective, can mean excellent, classic, or old.

Answer: Vintage

The noun "vintage" came to English in the 1400s from Latin via Old French and meant vine harvest. By the 1700s, the word came to mean the age/year of a wine, and by the 1800s, "vintage" had evolved into a general term for age. Similarly, the definition of "vintage" as high quality evolved first from an adjective used for wine before entering general use to indicate excellence.

10. Be careful not to leave any evidence when entering an "INT" word meaning an impression used for biometric identification.

Answer: Fingerprint

A more recent addition to the English language, "fingerprint" came into use in the 1800s, a combination of the Germanic word "finger" and the Old French word "preinte". Not surprisingly, the word evolved for identification purposes, although the concept of using fingerprints for identification goes back to Babylonian times.
