Episode eleven (days 56 to 60) 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 also in the OED.

56 | Thursday 26 December | selenocentric | having relation to the centre of the moon or to the moon as a centre |
