That #Ouija Board explanation is linked through 'the main word' below. I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the first words' bases ...
The word “Ouija” (the Hasbro-/Parker Brothers-/Kennard Novelty Co-trademark that Americans pronounce 'WEE-jee') is built on words that mean Yes (unless you believe the story about 'the talking-board ITSELF choosing the name' and--when asked for the name's meaning--replied "Good Luck" ... though the name there might've been inspired by 'the writer pictured on the empath's locket,'
"Ouida," a pen-name inspired by the writer's childhood pronunciation of her middle-name Louise).

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
