I remember when you had to learn vocabulary in elementary school.  It never seemed like an effective way to learn words.  I can't imagine what it must be like for you during the pandemic.

Boyd is an ancient Scottish surname. The name is attached to Simon, one of several brothers and children of Alan, son of Flathald. Simon's son Robert was called Boyt or Boyd from the Celtic term boidhe—meaning fair or yellow. ... The Scottish Gaelic form of the surname is Boid (masculine), and Bhoid (feminine).
