"Prospit" is derived from the word "prosperity," and the word "respite", which would contrast with the root of Derse's name ("Derse" is a combination of "dearth" and "terse.") In addition, the Latin word prospicere means "to look at," which may be a reference to Prospit's Skaian Clouds. The demonym of Prospit is "Prospitian." __TOC__
