100 Day Challenge: Words #18

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
