    I didn’t know the word cryptid and looked to the root word “crypt”, then at the picture of Trump for context clues. I deduced it must mean something like someone half-dead, foot-in-the grave, etc.

    But I mused that the root could be cryptic, too 🤔

    So I looked it up:

    Any creature that may or may not exist. Sightings of various cryptids have been reported, but their reality has not been proved.

    Thanks for a new word! Also, Sasquatch exists!!
