SERENE GOO HUT

If you add another E you get

HETEROGENEOUS ?

(and just in case that's correct I offer I FOR MUTINY ! Otherwise ignore me until maybe later.)

Hab, w/o the extra E, you get

HETEROGENOUS

Read your dictionary... there is also Heterogeneous...

I FOR MUTINY

Captain Bligh would of course like UNIFORMITY

I am abashed. Heterogenous it is, certainly. (Although I must confess I have never heard of calling it "heterogenized" when we let the cream separate from the milk...)

PS - Just for fun - Google gives 10,300,000 hits for "heterogeneous" and 554,000 for "heterogenous". Is that a valid indicator of anything?

Hmm.

ENDOTHELIAL NT has appeal but doesn't exist.

THE DENTAL LION has three words rather than two. So does
ONE LITTLE HAND.

TOILET HANDLE lacks an N. (Good thing it wasn't a P that was missing!)

Back to the drawing board.

Now then, hab got it first, but didn't have the courage of his convictions. CW felt the same. KHC at least felt prepared to put it forward as a solution. Big Grin

So, who posts the next jumble? Confused

make one of the Is into a P and get HOSPITALS

Sometimes we can get a clue from the association with the previous word. That's "solving by induction." Then again, of course, sometimes we can't.

(PS I don't propose "hospitals" as a solution. If I thought I had it, it would be in BOLD.)

OK, then, a question --

if "halo-"comes from the Greek "hals" meaning "salt,"

and therefore the "halogens" are the salt formers, chemically: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine (and weakly astatine, as I recall)

and there is really a mineral called "halite" with the formula NaCl (= sodium chloride, AKA table salt),

then why should the word that etymologically should mean "the condition characterized by the presence of sodium chloride" have come to mean "bad breath"?
