Word of the Day: Napery.

Noun
1. Household linen, especially tablecloths and napkins.

Example Sentences.
1. "Cindy had color-coordinated napery for every holiday."
2. "The napery went into the laundry immediately after the dinner party."
3. "Mrs. Snyder has a set of napery she saved from her wedding."

Word Origin.
Old French, 15th century

"Napery," which refers to household linens such as napkins and tablecloths, comes from the Old French "naperie." The root word "nape" means "tablecloth." While "napery" is an old-fashioned word, it lives on as the name of a Sherwin-Williams paint color.

Word of the Day: Skirr


verb
1. Move rapidly, especially with a whirring sound.

Example Sentences.
1. "Courtney watched the birds skirr into the sky after they were startled by her dog's bark."
2. "The drone skirred high into the air to capture an aerial photo of the wedding."
3. "We ran inside to escape the cloud of insects skirring after us."

Word Origin.
Unknown, mid-16th century

"Skirr" originated from the now-obsolete use of the verb "scour," to mean "move hastily." The idea of skirring may conjure up images of birds hurriedly taking to the air in a flock; however, birds aren't the only animals to move in flocks.

Word of the Day: Osculate.

VERB
1. (Formal or humorous) Kiss.
2. (Of a curve or surface) Touch (another curve or surface) so as to have a common tangent at the point of contact.

Example Sentences.
1. "People in many cultures greet each other by osculating their companions' cheeks."
2. "The sky and ocean were both so blue that it was difficult to discern where they osculated on the

Word Origin.
Latin, mid-17th century

"Osculate" originates from the Latin verb "osculari" ("to kiss") and the noun "osculum" ("little mouth or kiss"). While a kiss between the happily married couple is often considered the romantic culmination of a modern wedding ceremony, ancient Romans viewed the practice more practically.

2. (Archaic) Sum up and conclude a speech.

3. "Just when we thought the speech would never end, the speaker finally perorated and left the stage."

Word Origin.
Latin, early 17th century

The word "perorate" contains an important clue about its definition — the word "orate," which means "to make a speech, especially pompously or at length." "To perorate" is to drag your oration out for longer than necessary.

Word Origin.
Latin, late 16th century
