Word: Glabella

Glabella
1. The small smooth area on the human forehead between the eyebrows just above the nose.
Also …
2. The smooth median portion of the cephalic shield of a Trilobite.


Being an anatomical term the word is needless to say derived from the Latin. The OED records the first use in 1598.

Weekly Photograph

So this week, in keeping with Advent, I thought we would have something ecclesiastical. There’s no story attached to this photo; it is just a rather lovely piece of Norman cathedral architecture in the triforium of Chichester Cathedral. Just look at he wonderful colours in that stone: I don’t know if it the stone, ceramic tiles or whether it is the remains of wall painting.
