Lost Word Of The Week (88)

Gladstone - cheap French #wine #lostwords #obscurewords #logophilia

On August 1, 2023 UK duty on still wine with a strength of over 11% ABV went up by 20% from 11.5% to 14.5% plus VAT, the biggest tax hike since 1975. Chancellors see taxing alcohol as fair game but one who bucked the trend was William Gladstone. In 1861 to foster the entente cordiale, he slashed the duty on French wine from twelve shillings to two shillings per dozen bottles. His action led to…

Obscutober Day 1: Ignis 🔥

I’m shaking things up for Inktober this year—by following a completely different prompt list! 💥 And on that list, we start things off with a glowy word associated with a phrase that means “foolish fire.” 😉

@Regran_ed from @etymologyexplorer - tryst: A prearranged meeting, especially between lovers. From Old French tristre (“waiting place, appointed station”), probably from Old Norse treysta (“to make safe, secure”), from traust (a general term for “confidence, trust, security, help, shelter, safe abode”) Related to 'trust' through Old Norse 'traust’ (“confidence”) 💏👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨👯‍♀️ Such passion. It makes sense for a tryst to involve a lot of trust. You’re really putting yourself out there! Happy trysting. . . . #etymologyexplorer #wordoftheday #wordfortheday #wordgram #etymologygram #word #etymology #wotd #vocabulary #learnvocabulary #learnsomethingneweveryday #becomesmartereveryday #englishvocabulary #etymologyrules #language #definition #words #dictionary #unknownwords #obscurewords #languagelovers #wordsofig #wordsmatter #wordmatters #etymologyrules - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2YWiTgsAy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qou3hqsnvs4v

Ellenborough's lodge and teeth #lostwords #obscurewords #logophilia

Lord Ellenborough, whose birthname was, by a piece of nominative determinism, Edward Law, was Lord Chief Justice from 1802 until 1817, earned a reputation for being harsh and overbearing towards counsel and sometimes showed remarkable bias against the accused in his summing ups to the jury. In a judgment that resonates today, in R v Inhabitants of Eastbourne, he ruled that destitute French…

Obscutober Day 16: Saudade 🥀

To makeup for the past couple #inktober poems being a bit short & because this is one of my favorite words, today I opted for something longer and inspired by my recent behind-the-scenes crochet efforts. 🧶

It was actually really fun and I’m kind of sad it’s over! 🥲

@Regran_ed from @etymologyexplorer - docile: Yielding to control or supervision, direction, or management; subservient. From Latin docilis ("easily taught") from doceo (“I teach”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European deḱ- (“to take”). Related to 'doctor' through Latin 'doceo' ("I teach, instruct") 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ Just because the doctor said, doesn’t mean you have to be docile and blindly accept—they’re human too ya know! But really though, you should probably listen to your doctor. 😂 . . . #etymologyexplorer #wordoftheday #wordfortheday #wordgram #etymologygram #word #etymology #wotd #vocabulary #learnvocabulary #learnsomethingneweveryday #becomesmartereveryday #englishvocabulary #etymologyrules #language #definition #words #dictionary #unknownwords #obscurewords #languagelovers #wordsofig #wordsmatter #wordmatters #etymologyrules - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BofIYSJFnaG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13fingxvb6phu
