Word for the Week comes from Luciferous Logolepsy

Good writers read often and endeavor to engage texts that will lead to their personal expansion. We must in order to increase our ability to relay meaning to others. During such exercises, we can reasonably expect to encounter an obscure word or even two. The website, Luciferous Logolepsy, seeks to provide an accessible means to learn the definitions of such words, but remember, it is always best to check more than one source.
