abjure renounce, turn away from (from The Encyclopedia of Arda) I liked this word because I have never run across it before. I hope to find it now within more of my reading.
bannock flat bread-cake (from The Encyclopedia of Arda) I chose this word even though it's not totally obsolete. I've read it in plenty of fantasy or medieval books. However, I like it, and I'm hungry. ;)
And in the spirit and trend of super heroes, I thought this word was fun:
Wonder-wench: A sweetheart — “The Word Museum: The Most Remarkable English Words Ever Forgotten” by Jeffrey Kacirk (From 18 obsolete words, which never should have gone out of style.)

*laughs at the abjurement of Basement Cat*
ReplyDelete*wonders if "abjurement" is in fact the noun form of "abjure"*
I'd also wondered, 'til I saw the explanatory picture, whether Wonder-wench was meant in the "aw, you're such a sweetie" sense or the "special lady-friend" sense. I am therefore twice appreciative of your provided illustrations. :)
:) You're welcome. I realized I had initially posted too quickly and had to rush off to get some illustrations. I am glad I did as well.
ReplyDeleteWonder-Wench is an awesome word! And I like the illustrations, too.
ReplyDeleteNice words, and welcome to the blog hop! Writer’s Mark
ReplyDeleteThank you. I see I was supposed to do roses, though...I will try to remember to do tea next week. ;)
DeleteWhat fun words you chose! Thanks for enhancing my vocab today!
ReplyDelete:) Isn't this hop fun? I have a feeling I am going to see the word abjure all over the place now. ;)
DeleteLOVE the cat meme you created, bannock sounds good, and wonder-wench...is a winner of a word. Glad to have you joining in!
ReplyDeletehehehe...*blush* I wish I could take credit for the cat meme. I unfortunately don't know who made it. Bad of me, I know, but it was so unexpectedly perfect. Thanks for having me!
