So here’s episode three (for days 11 to 15) of my 100 day challenge to find words I don’t know.
I’m scraping words from https://randomword.com/ and each day picking one that I find interesting and which is in the OED.
| Day | Date | Word | Meaning |
| 11 | Monday 11 November | xylometer | an instrument measuring specific gravity of wood |
| 12 | Tuesday 12 November | culverin | lightweight, portable, long-barrelled cannon |
| 13 | Wednesday 13 November | discophoran | of, like, or pertaining to jellyfishes |
| 14 | Thursday 14 November | aguardiente | Spanish or Portuguese brandy |
| 15 | Friday 15 November | pegomancy ** | divination by the examination of springs or fountains |
** My favourite of the words presented.
Next episode in a few days!
