"May I have the origin of the word?"
"May I have the defintion of the word?"

that one boy missed a word that seemed fairly easy - "Paillon" I think it was.. anyway.. he said he figured it was spelled that way, but it seemed "too easy" so he left the "i" out, thinking they were slipping a tricky word in.
