As inspired by @gabbo1092 in the first of this kind of riddle (see this for an example of how the answer works), I thought I'd come up with another riddle.
Rules:
- I will give you a number of clues.
- Each clue relates to a word.
- Each of these words will have a teapot (homophone/homonym) that has a different meaning.
- All of these teapots will be related in some way.
- Your task is to find each of the words, their teapots, and their connection.
The first word has a teapot that means you feel sad and depressed.
The second word has a teapot that is sweet and another teapot that belongs to William.
The third word has a teapot that helps you fall asleep and feel calm.
The fourth word has a teapot that both Indiana Jones and Ernest Shackleton would like versions of.
HINT ONE
The third clue refers to a plant's smell.
HINT TWO
The fourth clue refers to something edible.
HINT THREE
The William in the second clue is dutch.
HINT FOUR
The fourth word has potential prefixes. One of these prefixes is something to do with Indiana Jones, and a different prefix is something to do with Ernest Shackleton.
Answer
I think that they are all
Colours
The first word has a teapot that means you feel sad and depressed.
Blue - melancholy, sad, or depressed mood
The second word has a teapot that is sweet and another teapot that belongs to William.
Orange - which is a sweet fruit but also a feudal principality of which William III was prince.
The third word has a teapot that helps you fall asleep and feel calm.
Lavender - already solved by Naeem Shaikh
The fourth word has a teapot that both Indiana Jones and Ernest Shackleton would like versions of.
Cream - as in whipped cream (Indiana Jones had a signature whip) and ice cream (Ernest Shackleton was a polar explorer). Thank you to OP for the 4th hint.
