Ok, I wouldn’t have gotten BRUCINE…I hung onto EUTHANIZING for so long, though, I’m kind of cross I didn’t now. Should have seen CHATEAU. Not surprised there are so few solutions for this one.
Have a great weekend, Mark!

Ê· Wiktionary
CHINTZIER-RUTABAGA here in 15 minutes after being unable to let go of EUTHANIZING for 10 of those minutes. Saw URBANIZING, kicking myself for not giving myself time to see CHATEAU before going, ‘I’m over this -ZING lark’ (would have come to ETHICIZING eventually, I think). Finally to a rather twee lounge with an odd vegetable!
Kanishk and RF, can’t wait to see you, my lovelies!
Good luck, all, and have a great Friday!

BRUCINE – EUTHANIZING
Brucine is a bitter, very poisonous alkaloid (C₂₃H₂₆N₂O₄) chemically related to strychnine.
(But not sure if they can euthanize using brucine.)
