Episode 12n (days 61 to 65) 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.
Day | Date | Word | Meaning |
61 | Tuesday 31 December | rudenture | architectural moulding in the shape of a rope |
62 | Wednesday 1 January | libanomancy ** | divination by the burning of incense |
63 | Thursday 2 January | limaciform | having the form of a slug |
64 | Friday 3 January | breviloquence | brevity of speech |
65 | Saturday 4 January | gambrel | crooked stick used by butchers for hanging carcasses |
** My favourite of the words presented.
