Many thanks to Randy C for

Many thanks to Randy C for starting a new Word Link thread.  Also, many thanks to Mike Hewson for posting the rules, which appear to be a bit more liberal than what I was led to believe:

 

<Well I had to go back to Word Link 45 ( 19 Sep 2014 ! ) but I found :

"This is a simple game: post a word that is in some way related to the previously posted word.

Rules:
- no double posts (same person twice in a row)
- exception to the above: if there is no response after three days
"

Seems about right.

Cheers, Mike.>

 

In honor of these rules, I added an "s" to "couture" and discovered an anagram: "outcurse"

Quixotism as a term or a

Quixotism as a term or a quality appeared after the publication of Don Quixote in 1605. Don Quixote, the hero of this novel, written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, dreams up a romantic ideal world which he believes to be real, and acts on this idealism, which most famously leads him into imaginary fights with windmills that he regards as giants, leading to the related metaphor of "tilting at windmills".
