New words
« on: April 12, 2018, 12:08:49 PM »
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 - 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 :)
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

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.
