Wondrous Words Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Bermuda Onion with words new (to us).
From Irreplaceable by Stephen Lovely, my vocabulary words are:
charango: n. a 10 stringed mandolin of Andean regions with a sound box traditionally made from the shell of an armadillo or tortoise, now made of wood.
limbic : adj. pertaining to or of the nature of a limbus or border, marginal.
mediastinum: ,n the partition separating the right and left thoracic cavities, formed of the 2 inner pleural walls, and , in humans, comprising all the viscera of the thorax except the lungs.
You found some great words. I love the sound of charango (if I'm pronouncing it right) but don't think I can sneak it into a conversation. Thanks for playing along.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely words. I'd like to use them but I'm not sure I'll be able to work them into a conversation
ReplyDeletecharango just sounds like a cool word!
ReplyDeleteI knew charango! But I knew it because I downloaded this wallpaper a while back. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh come on! You really didn't know any of those words? They are so easy! ;)
ReplyDeleteEek!! No way. Those are tough but very interesting. Great choices!
Charango really is a beautiful word. After reading the definition of mediastinum, I think I need to look up half the words used in it :)
