Episode 15 (days 71 to 75) 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.

| 71 | Friday 10 January | zenzizenzizenzic | the square of a square of a square number; the eighth power of a number |
