People create new words to describe the world around them: what they see, what they do, what things are used for, and the thoughts and emotions and ideas connected to everything. As the world changes, vocabularies change, too. New words are invented for new inventions, and other words are forgotten as old tools or habits or clothes stop being used. When you read books written a century ago, you’re getting a glimpse of the lives that people lived back then, and the words they used to talk about their lives. In Jeffrey Kacirk’s book “The Word Museum: The Most Remarkable English Words Ever Forgotten,” he brings hundreds of these words back out into the light of day. When you read through the word lists, you’ll travel back in time to the days when those words were part of common conversation – and maybe you’ll find a word or two that you like so much you’ll start using it, and bring it back to life. Here are seven words we particularly like:
mundivagant
Wandering around the world, traveling.
kedge-belly
A glutton, someone who eats too much.
latitudinarian
Someone who has broadly tolerant religious views.
zythepsary
A brewery or ale-house.
ornithoscopy
Telling the future by watching how birds fly.
miscomfrumple
To crease or rumple fabric.
wuther
Blowing with a loud noise, like a strong gust of wind.
