Episode 18 (days 86 to 90), the antepenultimate summary 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 |
86 | Saturday 25 January | belomancy ** | divination by means of arrows |
87 | Sunday 26 January | orf | an infectious disease of sheep and goats caused by a poxvirus |
88 | Monday 27 January | fanfaron | a blusterer, boaster, braggart |
89 | Tuesday 28 January | schapska | a flat-topped cavalry helmet |
90 | Wednesday 29 | shandry | a light cart or trap on springs |
** My favourite of the words presented.
