Nope.


Based in Greek mythology, its modern general meaning is "an inflexibly just or severe judge."


(Yes, it's a future Word Corner word!  :winkgrin: )


I'll give it another day then post a replacement one....

Nope.




I was thinking it was a flower or something... I'll still guess it:

radamanthias

I swear that's a flower of some sort. Not that I know what it is. :P
