I keep a list of candidate definitions. When a word comes up, I choose the
least implausible. But the overwhelming majority are nouns, with some
verbs and very few adjectives. My def was the only adjective in the list

made the *gold of Ophir* connection, until you pointed it out. That was
just wild luck.
