Episode 16 (days 76 to 80) 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 |
76 | Wednesday 15 January | fiacre | a small four-wheeled carriage for hire; a hackney-coach |
77 | Thursday 16 January | sipe | to percolate or ooze through |
78 | Friday 17 January | guereza | an Ethiopian monkey (Colobus guereza) with long hair and a bushy tail |
79 | Saturday 18 January | phoeniceous | of a bright red or crimson colour |
80 | Sunday 19 January | yelt ** | a young sow |
** My favourite of the words presented.
