Eeeeeyeeeeuuuuwwww
'eu-', the little Greek prefix, that could.
In combinational form, it modifies as
'well' & 'easily.'
So, let's try Eucalyptus.
eu + (the Greek) kaluptos (covered) = 'well covered'.
The unopened flower of the Eucalyptus Tree is protected by a cap.
Here's a good one: Eudemonic.
eu + daimon (guardian spirit) = happy.
Eudemonism is a system of ethics that bases moral obligation on the likelihood of actions producing happiness.
Eudemonic - conducive to happiness.
Eugenics is a modern word. Skip it.
Eunuch.
This one's got me nipped. I'll need to learn more Greek.
The etymology is eu + noukhos; with a literal translation as, 'bedchamber attendant.' What's a 'noukhos?'
Eupeptic, Euphemism, Eulogy, Europa....
they all come alive,
when you focus on the eu.
And have the Eurythmics ever played an euphonium?
