I absolutely love unusual, rare and pretty words, so when I spotted this
'A-Z of Unusual Words' by 'The Project Twins' on
Automatism, I had to add it to my online scrapbook.
Unfortunately it would be a bit too much to show the entire alphabet on this blog, so here's a small selection:
|
Yonderly
Mentally or emotionally distant; absent-minded.
|
|
Recumbentibus
A knockout punch, either verbal or physical.
|
|
Noegenesis
Production of knowledge. |
|
Montivagant
Wandering over hills and mountains. |
|
Cacodemonomania
The pathological belief that one is inhabited by an evil spirit. |
|
Acersecomic
A person whose hair has never been cut.
