The international meaning of commencement is "the start of something". It is only used to refer to graduation ceremonies in the US and Canada.

At my graduation we were told it was called graduation to mark the end of school, and commencement because it was the beginning of our adult life. That seems to fit your definition, so what's the problem?

Ointment and cream are 2 different things. Each exclusive of the other. Creams are water-based. Ointments are oil-based. It's like giving "acrylic" as the clue when the answer is "watercolor". You could use "salve" or "topical medicine". (And liniment is more different still, not a cream either, but a liquid.)

Reminder that it’s “vêtements” not “vetements,” and that the ê in French is generally an indicator that there used to be an “s” following the e before it got lost over time... 😁

The reason the french district question percentage is so low is probably because one would have to know French in order to get it. I know the word, but I couldn't spell it.
