Proparoxytone is a word which has an acute accent on the third to last syllable. If that means the emphasis is on the third to last syllable, then I get it. And proparoxytone is a proparoxytone. My winner today is Sprite, with a short and sweet meaning: "I believe it's a specialized tool used by teens to combat acne."
Great work Sprite - and thanks for playing.

Proparoxytone=comes in a bottle that you rub on your children in the middle of the night to ensure that they act proper the next day!

I have to do this without reading what you say so that I can try to be original.
Enjoy the day!

Proparoxytone describes the beautiful sound produced when a wind instrument is blown perfectly correctly by a musician who really knows what they are doing. Unfortunately it is a rather scientific-sounding word for what is really a beautiful thing, but that's the English language for you.
Proparoxytone describes something that needs oxygen to survive. Therefore we as humans are proparoxytone.
