Quench your thirst. You don't hear that word in any other context. It means to satisfy with water. It means to extinguish. One synonym would be "quell."
Quell means to 1 put an end to something, usually in a forceful way. 2. pacify or suppress bad feeling: to allay a disturbing feeling or thought in a reassuring way.
Question: where do these "QU" words come from? Apparently they come from Middle or Old English from Old High German.
Another interesting synonym: squelch.
Squelch!
I hope I have been able to quench, quell, and squelch your curiosity about these words!
If you want to Quell the Hot Flash, I have a video coming soon!
