As a wordsmith, I love learning about new words and then using them in my writing. Here are a few you may not have heard of and which may inspire you in your writing:
- Pusillanimous – lacking courage
- Vellicate – to nip, twitch, pinch
- Mabble – to wrap up
- Hebdomadally – weekly
- Caliginous – dark, dim, misty, obscure

😱 If I find any of those words in a book, other than a Dictionary, it’ll go straight back to the shelf 😂
Ha, ha, ha! Love it, Chris 😉
😂
Wordsmiths are special people who help the rest of us learn and appreciate. Thanks!!
You’re very welcome. I always love discovering new words 🙂
If I use a word like these you can be sure it’s a typo! Mind you I kind of like vellicate though the spell checker don’t!
Spell checker doesn’t like a lot of things!
Ah well. All of us (writers) suffer from this disease/infection. 🙂
I’m gobsmacked! Thanks.
Absolutely love your never-ending creativity with words and also your challenges and funny signs. What a cool set of talents!!!
Thank you so much, Anne 🙂
Today I managed to get the words Vehemently and Capacious into a short story. So proud 😉
I love learning new words too. I’d heard of Pusillanimous but I wasn’t too sure of its meaning, I don’t think I’d have the courage to use it.
I LOVE Scripturient, I’ve got to use that in a story or poem!
All the best.
Wow! That’s brilliant. I love new words 🙂
