WORD OF THE DAY...
I've skipped this for a few weeks.... Here are a few words I've noted in books and ...???
These words showed up in The Bad Weather Friend by Dean Koontz.
lunula = Noun: A small crescent-shaped marking. Especially used to name the small white half-moon shape at the base of a finger nail. Noun: In entomology, a small depression on the frons of a dipterous insect.
Etymology: New Latin fr. Latin. Indo-European roots.
comestibles = Noun: Food. Anything that can be eaten.
Etymology: unsure at this time....
cincture = Noun: Something that encircles or surrounds like a belt or sash. Noun: Specific. A part of an ecclesiastical garment worn by a priest, monk, or nun as a sash or tie to confine the garment. Verb: transitive. To gird, circle, encompass or surround.
Etymology: Latin. Fr. cinctura. Indo-European roots
That book is full of vocabulary building words. Koontz loves to make you think...
