Benison (pronounced ben - uh - son)
Benison is defined as a blessing or a benediction by the dictionary. It stuck out to me because it sounds so much like the word venison, which would make benison easily incorporable in a story set in the Middle Ages.
I can always remember the definition of the word venison, since Robin Hood offers it to the Friar Tuck shown above in my favorite version of Robin Hood. Perhaps that's why it sounds like it belongs in the time.

That picture of Friar Tuck makes me crack up, I don't know why. Perhaps his bewildered expression, lol.
Like the word connection! That's how I make my Spanish students remember vocab...
It's true, the more you use a word,
the more likely you'll remember it.
Making connections like this is just
one of the ways to put it to use.
Thanks for commenting!
