Prosperous

When:

Lookups rose dramatically during the last week of December.

Why:

Wishes for a "happy and prosperous New Year" are frequently offered at this time of year.

Prosperous means "marked by success or economic well-being" and "enjoying vigorous and healthy growth."

At the root of prosperous is a Latin word that means "to cause to succeed."

And we hope you have a very happy and prosperous New Year.
