Aha, a word I actually know. Though I only know it through folk and pastoral songs, and through my love of Shakespeare. Though I don't think I've ever actually had the chance to use it sadly. So many good words I haven't tried working in somewhere yet.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. Yes indeed. There are so many amazing words out there! I try to implement them in my writing when I can and spread awareness through these posts lol. Use the English language to the fullest! Thank you for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love words, big and small, ordinary and odd. I wasn't familiar with this one, but I'm glad to have added a new wonderful word to my vocabulary. :-)
