Click for Explanations

NURSE implies
NURTURING as is a
NUTRIENT or
RESTORATIVE implicit in ideas of
RESTAURANT and
NURSERY for the immature or the
INFIRM who need the care of medNURSES ...

All living forms have to do with
NURT which in Ukrainian denotes
STREAM as if life arose from
WATER which points to
NIERE Greek for KIDNEY or
NERKA in Ukrainian and Polish ... and
NATANT or
NARE in Latin for floating and to
NARES for external openings of the nose ...
NEREIDA is one of fifty nymphs daughters of
NEREUS which returns us to Ukrainian
NURKA for dive and the word idea for
DUCK ... otter ...

NYMPHS liked clear waters
and clear body liquid is LYMPH
