MERCENARY        A word-idea paying tribute to MERCURY or
HERMETIC         HERMES thus related to AMBIGUOS MORALITY
                 akin to sexual ambiguity known as 
HERMAPHRODITISM


PLASTIC      Think how PLASTIC is PLASMA or how adept or 
             adaptable are the shapes of some parasites like
             PLASMID as if they were like 
PLASTER      or some tissues that change shape into a 
NEOPLASIA    or a new morphology often preceded by 
DYSPLASTIC   signs that pathologists call
DYSPLASIA


FRENZY          I am in trouble to expose the ideas in this word-idea unless you 
                believe me that it has to to with Spanish FRENO 
                for BREAK and the idea that our mind is the organ 
PHRENIA         that has control of our feelings or emotions and
                therefore motions and that such controls may be
                lessened by
SCHYZOPRENIA    and by mental "retardation"  or
OLIGOPHRENIA    or HYPOMENTIA

GIGES   King of Lydia who had a GIGantic fortune ...
        the "idea" is further personalized in

        JIGsaw puzzle to puzzle people with 
        GIGantic fortunes who behave like
JERKS   or as bad as a 
GIGOLO  and who should be made to 
JOG     and 
JOGGLE  and 
JIGGLE  to induce 
GIGGLES and 
OGGLES  from the less fortunate mortals.


HEAL      To cover, recover ...
          Restore ... restaurants restore as well
          Healing or Curing with Cures reminds of

          preservation of SELF or HOMEOSTASIS ...
