Abandoned Words

[poliphilo]

I visited this site in the hope of getting my teeth into something chewy, but to be honest most of these abandoned words are ones only a pedant could love- things with Greek and Latin roots, conceived in the study and of little use out of it. Few of them will ever have had much of a life.  Still, the site itself is fun. I like the way the poor little things clamour for our attention.

Yes, it's good to be diverted.
