Description: Since the dawn of language, words have been going through a process of natural selection in which only the most fit survive. Every one of us, as a reader, writer, and speaker, shapes the course of language by choosing the words we want to convey our message and rejecting those we deem inappropriate in one context or another. This very personal collection of lost words, of which there are hundreds more, is an appetizer, an invitation to sample some new words that are actually very old, savor them and, if you like, use them.
