Spoilers!
I knew "concatenate," "druthers," and "milquetoast" somewhat vaguely and in passing (though "milquetoast" is a new spelling to me), and I managed to work out the other two by virtue of the way they sound. I can think of no better way to put it. Some words just sound like their definition. And I picked off that "ferly" was of Scottish origin. Yay me. :P
Thanks, Tarissa!
