Episode 14 (days 66 to 70) 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 |
66 | Sunday 5 January | pubarche | the first appearance of pubic hair |
67 | Monday 6 January | quinticlave ** | upright brass-wind instrument like a keyed bugle |
68 | Tuesday 7 January | tentiginous | lust-provoking |
69 | Wednesday 8 January | wherret | a sharp blow, particularly a box on the ear or slap on the face |
70 | Thursday 9 January | labiomancy | lip reading |
** My favourite of the words presented.
