Luciferous Logolepsy
That screenshotdictionary collecting dust on your bookshelf is actually a living, breathing document that is constantly being refined. Words are added, dropped, and modified as the language continues to evolve. This site shines a light on some of the obscure words that have leapt from our lexicon. Language lovers will love the odor of jumentous, the pace of testudineous, or the amorous feelings of blissom. Many of the words within this copious list of terms might prove difficult to casually work into a conversation, so please don't suffer from onomatophobia. Cachinnate if you will, but don't be renitent in gilravaging the joys of language. (in Linguistics & Languages)
