Disoriented, Caffeine, Bubbling, Gumfiate

Disoriented-

To turn from the east; to cause to ‘lose one’s bearings’; to put out, disconcert, embarrass.

This French word has to do with direction, or a lack there of. While I did not know that it was French, I knew that it had to do with not knowing where you were or the direction you were facing.

Caffeine-

  A vegetable alkaloid crystallizing in white silky needles, found in the leaves and seeds of the coffee and tea plants, the leaves of guarana, maté, etc.

Because I am not an avid coffee drinker, I knew near nothing about the word caffeine other than it is what most people rely on to get their day going.

Bubbling-

The action of the verb bubble v.; the process of forming bubbles, rising in bubbles, etc.

Almost everyone can image what it looks like when you pour a soda into an ice-filled cup. It is a satisfying, eye-pleasing sight that should be fun to show through illustrator.

Gumfiate-

To cause to swell; to puff up

This word comes from a Scottish decent, and means to swell or puff up. To display this word I will have to involve some sort of swelling or puffing.
