So You Think You Know Word Origins?

If you like thinking about the origins and histories of words, you might like to take this quiz: Etymologic: The Toughest Word Game On The Web

The quiz gives you the chance to see if you can determine the etymologies of the 10 words it gives you (along with multiple choice answers).

I got 8 out of 10 (I tripped up on “hobo” and “bistro”).
