Weekly Word Wednesdays


abandoned word: amarulence
n.
bitterness; spite; scorn

You could feel the amarulence in her aura after the disastrous incident at the hairdresser.

Go to savethewords.org to adopt this word! Here's what they say:

Each year hundreds of words are dropped from the dictionary. Old words, wise words, hard-working words. Words that once led meaningful lives but now lie abandoned and forgotten. Do your part and help spread the word.

Why are words important? Words are the cornerstone of language. The more words we have, the richer our vocabulary. Words allow us to communicate precisely. Without the right word to describe something, well…we’d be speechless!
