Sunday Rest: chemonasty.

 Everyone knows that chemo can be really nasty, but, I mean, why remind everyone?

And, I mean, it's not even as if chemonasty is anything to do with medicine or being ill.

Sunday Rest: chemonasty. Chemonasty is a movement in plants caused by a chemical or nutritional stimulus. It's not necessarily the same as growth.

The chemo- bit of the word comes from the Greek khēmeia, which describes the art of transmutation, and the -nasty bit of the word comes from the Greek word nastos, which means pressed down, or closely pressed.
