"Sporocyst" is a word in ENGLISH
An asexual zooid, usually forming one of a series of
larval forms in the agamic reproduction of various trematodes and other
parasitic worms. The sporocyst generally develops from an egg, but in
its turn produces other larvae by internal budding, or by the
subdivision of a part or all of its contents into a number of minute
germs. See Redia.
Any protozoan when it becomes encysted produces germs by
sporulation.
The rain spun in the yellow arc lights over the café parking lot. It was empty inside, except for a fat Negro woman whom I could see through the service window in the kitchen, and a pretty, redheaded waitress in her early twenties, dressed in a pink uniform with her hair tied up on her freckled neck. She was obviously tired, but she was polite and smiled at me when she took my order, and I felt a sense of guilt, almost shame, at my susceptibility and easy fondness for a young woman's smile. Because if you're forty-nine and unmarried or a widower or if you've simply chosen to live alone, you're easily flattered by a young woman's seeming attention to you, and you forget that it is often simply a deference to your age.
