Quick questions about vocab,
Insidious literally translates to "sitting in," but the word means "secretly working to cause harm." Explain the possible connection between the actual and literal definitions?
Also, list as many words as you can think of that contain the root sid? I can not think of ANYTHING
and if you don't mind, what does potation mean?
