I consider myself to have a fairly comprehensive vocabulary but that does not mean that I don't get stumped on a pretty regular basis. I try to learn new words everyday. Some I would love to include in daily writing or conversation and some I would never use in my lifetime but they can still be interesting. Especially to hear the origin of some of them. The word that I used this month was used in a book that I am currently reading. I had never come across the word before but when I looked it up I found that it could also mean "esoteric" which is one that I have heard before.
I visit a website periodically to find words for my blog which is simply http://www.wordsmith.org/awad "a word a day" and another one which is more challenging http://www.zdaily.com/word.shtml. This one tests your knowledge of the meaning of words.
Since I have a few followers of the blog who try to stump me on words from time to time, I thought I would divulge some of my "secret" sources. There you go, now you know.
