  4. Mythology & History Main • Jovial • JUPITER was the Roman version of Zeus. Another name for Jupiter was Jove. There used to be a strong belief that people were born under planets, as in astrology. People born under Jupiter, or Jove, were said to be merry, good-humored people. JOVIAL therefore means “merry,” and “good-humored.”

  5. Adopted Word Dessert • Protégé (French) • Someone who is taught, protected, sponsored by someone else with more experience. Similar to a student, but with the added sense of a future replacement
