Wondrous Words Wednesday
My words today are taken from the book Accidents Of Providence by Staci Brown.
1. wainscot- A board of riven and later quarter-sawn oak.
2. rheumy- A watery or thin mucous discharge from the eyes or nose.
3. scalding wormwood- A mixture of 1/2 cup scalded milk added to cornmeal.
I love words!

Great words there. I knew wainscot(ting) and rheumy. I know wormwood as a source for absinthe, but had never heard of scalding wormwood.
ReplyDeleteWainscoting is pretty popular in this part of the country, so I knew wainscot. Scalding wormwood doesn't sound too good to me.
ReplyDeleteNerd Girls- I like learning new ones.

Louise- thanks! for commenting.
