Answer

LUSTY

This adjective describes someone who is healthy, vigorous, and full of strong desires or appetites. It comes from the Middle English word meaning pleasure or delight, derived from lust. While often associated with physical desire today, it historically described a general zest for life and robust energy.

Strategy Tip

Today's word uses a common adjective ending pattern. When you suspect a word might end in Y, try placing it early to confirm and then work on the remaining consonants. The ST combination is quite common in English words.
