Now that our constant companion national security has taken on
the meaning of the obsolete word “fear”, maybe we can regain the
original word “fere”.
clue:
“Fere” means companion or comrade, with generally positive
connotations. I learned the word from the Ezra Pound poem
“Ballad of the Goodly Fere” about Jesus.
take oh take this clue away
