Hyperbola

Hyperbola (and, by extension, hyperbolic) are my favorite words for two reasons. Most obvious is that they contain the word hyper, which, as we all known rocks the proverbial socks. But on a more aesthetic level, it just sounds nice. Say it with me now, Hyperbola. Hyperbola. The two roots apart don’t seem like anything special, but together, magic is made.
