Last Friday, 1 November, I started on a new 100 day challenge which will take us into early February. Each day I have to find a word I don’t know (aka. a new word). Nothing difficult; I don’t have to write a short story using the word or anything like that; I just have to find a word and understand its meaning. Oh and document it!
That last point is where this blog comes in. Every five days – rather than every week so no-one, including me, gets trapped in “it always happens on a Sunday” – I plan to document here the previous five days words. So here we go with the first five words.
| Day | Date | Word | Meaning |
| 1 | Friday 1 November | xanthopsia | a visual condition where things appear yellow |
| 2 | Saturday 2 November | nevosity | the state of being speckled or spotted |
| 3 | Sunday 3 November | alphonsin | an instrument used to extract bullets from bodies |
| 4 | Monday 4 November | alopecoid ** | of, or resembling, a fox |
| 5 | Tuesday 5 November | induviae | withered leaves which persist on plants |
And in each post I shall asterisk ** my favourite of the words presented.
I’m trawling my words from the seabed using https://randomword.com/ and each day picking one that I find interesting.
Next episode in a few days!
