I missed the Jeopardy game yesterday, but came up with ‘nausea’ right away upon reading the FJ answer.
Pretty tight contest, not a ton of stumpers. I knew Lend-Lease prez and “Forget it, Jake” film. And all 3 DDs. Crashed on FJ. Usually I feel confident with the word origins category. I thought of “malaise” but knew it didn’t fit the description. I don’t exactly equate “nausea” with a general feeling of sickness, though. But let’s not debate that ad nauseam!
I, also (as usual) thought “malaise” at first, then realized it was 7 letters. But, got to “nausea” with much time to spare.
