Have to get back to my "word of the day" thread. My lexicon or thesaurus is running over.!!  So, here are a couple of interesting words that are not as casual as some others I have posted.... not as recognizable perhaps.


copse = Noun: A thicket of small trees or shrubs; A woody glen of small growth; A thicket of brushwood; A dense growth of bushes. See also  var. coppice.  Verb (transitive): To trim or cut - as said of small trees or shrubs. Verb (intransitive): To plant and preserve.
Etymology: Middle English copys, fr. Old French copelz (thicket form cutting) from coper. couper (to cut)
1578: From coppice by contraction (originally "small wood grown for periodic cutting")


pollex = Noun (anatomical): The innermost digit if the hand or foot. If there are five, the thumb or Great toe, especially the thumb. Noun (zoological): The innermost digit of the fore limb only, corresponding to the human thumb. The thumb of a bird; the short digit bearing the alula or bastard wing. The moveable joint of the forceps of the lobster, crab, or crawfish.
Etymology: Latin (thumb, big toe)
