October Word 5

Today's timed act of typingOctober 5. MaladyThere's a problem with malady, and it's that I have to process the word before I can write about the meaning of it, Words dance, now and then. I'm not diagnosed dyslexic, but...words don't always behave well. Malady NEVER looks right. There's something wrong about it. There's some amusement value there, no? Malady suffers from a malady? Anyway, I've misspelled it three times.  But I don't misspell "misspell." Go figure. Nothing wrong with my spelling. And now I've nearly run out of time and I didn't even get to complain about malady being a mealymouthed, fainthearted kind of a word for describing being sick...and now Im' wondering about the origin of the word mealymouthed and I've run out of time.
