Word Association: elaborate, heart, Lydia
I won't kid you on this one...if I was asked to solve this word association, I have my doubts that I would figure it out. To help you out a little bit, I'll tell you that one of your clue words is connected to the Bible.

Running a search at Bible Gateway might help you out.

Anyway, the question is: what single word can be associated with the following words?

ELABORATE
HEART
LYDIA


Problem Moderated by: Douglas
Problem Solution
The answer to this one is: PURPLE

I didn't know it until today, but ELABORATE and PURPLE are synonymous in some contexts. (PURPLE prose is ELABORATE prose)

And you've heard of a PURPLE HEART...

And LYDIA was (see Acts 16:14) a "dealer in PURPLE cloth"
