as a synonym for optimism, but it can also describe a blood-red hue or something relating to
blood.

Panacea means all-healing in Greek and, fittingly, Panacea was the Greek goddess of
healing. Today, the word is used to refer to something that could fix everything. Imagine a
remedy for all of the problems you face on a daily basis—that would be a panacea.

43. Bodacious

describe something that is remarkable or admirable. For example, a person might have a
bodacious energy or a home might have bodacious decor.

44. Axiom

An axiom is a statement that is widely accepted as true. For example, from the Declaration
of Independence—"we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these
are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." These "truths" could also be described
as axioms.
45. Silhouette

Depending on the situation, seeing a silhouette—or the outline of a figure—may be beautiful

but if you see a shadowy silhouette in a house you thought was empty, then you might want
to run away.

that person at your job who always seems to be working on a secret project might be
considered surreptitious.

female char acters such as Sandy at the start of Grease and Ophelia from Hamlet are
examples of ingenues.

48. Dulcet

anything that is generally pleasing. For example, you may have recently listened to
particularly dulcet music or indulged in a dulcet chocolate cake.

49. Tryst

This crisp word is usually used to describe a somewhat discreet meeting between two
lovers. While technically defined as any sort of meeting or appointment (not necessarily with
romantic motivations), you probably don't want to refer to the next meeting at your office as a
"tryst".

50. Ebullience

A beautiful word that's probably best used to describe a litter of golden retriever
puppies, ebullience is the quality of excitement and enthusiasm.
