Random cool words I've come across and either not heard before, or have heard before and forgotten.
Please feel free to add your own!
Today's word: Petrichor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrichor) - the earthy smell you get after rain
-
That is an excellent word :)
We also have the "what does that mean" thread partly for messing with this stuff: https://exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1684 :)

Bah! I would have used that one had I known. I did a search for "word" and "words" in thread titles and didn't find anything!
Edit: I see now that it's a game - so I'll let myself off

Another couple that might appeal:
frumenty: a type of porridge made with wheat - related to the French word froment, meaning wheat.
usufruct: a legal right to use property belonging to someone else, and derive proft or benefit from it, e.g. by growing and harvesting crops. Frequently referred to in Roman law.
