One of my interests is etymology - the study of the origin of words and the way in which their meanings have changed throughout history. So here is a short word quiz.  See how many of these you know. Give yourself 2 points if you know the correct meanings without using Mr Google and 1 point if you can find the correct meanings using Google or a Dictionary.  Answers on Tuesday. First prize - a virtual glass of wine!
WOOTZ
WETHER
WEAZEN
WAYZGOOSE
WANDEROO
WALLAROO
VERST
VERVAIN
TROVER
TRUDGEN
TREPHINE
PEEPUL
PARHELION
