Grue is a word that linguists love to use in examples, being a word

supposedly has no meaning in English. Sometimes they ask the gentle

student,
because if grue has no meaning, where does gruesome come from?
It's also the French word for crane - bird as well as tall metal
lifting
thing.

With minimal ingredients and some water, it can become Gruel !
