euthymia

/ juːˈθɪmɪə /

noun

eu- + -thymia

There was an eight-oared boat rowed by a crew of the young ladies, of which Miss Euthymia was the captain and pulled the bow oar.

Her hand was bold, almost masculine, a curious contrast to that of Euthymia, which was delicately feminine.

The Terror's hair was not naturally abundant, like Euthymia's, and she kept it cut rather short.

Then Euthymia would take them up with her sweet, deliberate accents, and bring her calmer judgment to bear on them.

Euthymia wondered, as well she might, to hear this young woman talking the language of science like an adept.
