Final Jeopardy Explanation – Thursday, October 12 2023
Originally derived from the Latin term “nausia” signifying “seasickness,” the word “nausea” has undergone a transformation in its meaning over the years. Nowadays, it’s not confined to the discomfort felt while on the sea but has expanded to encompass a generalized sense of illness or unease, often in the stomach area. The term is universally applied to describe a range of sensations, from mild stomach discomfort to more severe queasiness.
