Alright, we’ve officially entered the answer territory now. The solution to Wordle #553 (December 24, 2022) is poise. From a scientific perspective, it pays homage to French physicist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille who is credited with formulating the concept of laminar flow for liquids, which later came to be known as Poiseuille’s Law.

According to the Cambridge dictionary, poise means can either describe a certain grace in doing something or “a calm confidence” in a person’s behavior. “The key to winning is poise under stress,” is one of the famous quotes often attributed to Cleveland Browns co-founder and coach Paul Brown.

Digging into the etymological roots, the noun form of poise is said to be a derivative of the 15th-century French word “pois,” which refers to the balance, weight, or significance of something. The Latin root is thought to be “Pesum,” which signifies weight. Over the years, the word came to be used as a descriptive term for steadiness, composure, or equilibrium.
