Trivia: What does “halcyon” mean?
An opening remark
A substitute
An endless supply
Peaceful or prosperous
The correct answer is Peaceful or prosperous
So why is this answer correct? : “Halcyon” refers to a time of happiness, prosperity, success, or peace, as in, “The halcyon days of youth.” Its meaning comes from ancient Greek mythology, when kingfisher birds were called “halkyōn.” Legend says that the wind god was so delighted by these birds that he created a period of calmness on the seas while they nested, lasting until the eggs safely hatched. This legend gave way to the more general definition of “halcyon” to mean “calm.”
