Word of the day… I love the word ‘lexicon’ therefore I will try to amuse you with a WOTD now and again.
9-05-2023 I met a Luthier today. 🙂 – a maker of stringed instruments such as violins or guitars.! – Oxford Dictionary
8-15-2024 – Triumvirate – a group of three holding power. The first Triumvirate consisted of the unofficial coalition of Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus in 60 BC and ( the Second Triumvirate ) a coalition formed by Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian in 43 BC. – Oxford Dictionary. Enya’s triumvirate is the inspiration for this post, blending three beautiful classical voices to make her amazing music!
03-13-2025 – Garrulous – (Latin) I have read/heard this word once before: It means ‘Talkative or Chattering’. It comes from the word “garrÄ«re”, first showing up in 17th century English. It was used to describe people who speak excessively about trivial things. Hmmm…
HISTORY / BACK STORY:
It is so rare these days that I come across a new word for me at least. I read the dictionary as a youth for entertainment. My adoptive.mother, so kind as to buy a beautiful Encyclopedia Britannica set specifically for me, because, I was always asking why?, what?, where?, who?, how? and how come? to the point of her distraction!, she would state.
