Hot off the press, in the bastard lexiconology that the Urban Dictionary harbors, these two words have reared their peculiar heads:


Pseudocoup. Pronounced like the word puzzle "sudoku". The coup attempt by the Trump supporters.

Nussy The act of swabbing a person's nose right up to where the brain connects, causing a person's eyes to roll back and gag.

Far from being inspiration, these two words produce a weird strain of deflation in my heart... What a world, what a world.

A.k.a. why I can't wear high-heeled shoes. They never bend in the right place for me.

a·le·a·to·ry
/ˈālēəˌtôrē/

depending on the throw of a dice or on chance; random.

relating to or denoting music or other forms of art involving elements of random choice (sometimes using statistical or computer techniques) during their composition, production, or performance.
"aleatory music"

from alea, Latin "dice"; aleator, Latin "dice player"

Aleatory was a word I used in another life as a risk analyst. When we consider uncertainty, the part of uncertainty that is inherent and random is aleatory. The part that is due to our ignorance, our lack of information is epistemic.

A word I like from the world of statistics is

ogive

/ˈəʊdʒʌɪv,əʊˈdʒʌɪv/

In statistics it is an empirical cumulative distribution function.

In architecture it is the curve of a gothic arch.

Yes, but it's important to recall that "man" in Old English meant "human being," regardless of gender. Males were called "werman" and females were called "wifman." Over time, the "wer" was dropped for males and the "wif" turned into "wo" for females.

Syzygy. Perfect for visitors at Yuletide. Polydactyly. Often found in cats.

Woman - a traditional marriage (man and wife as one)

Not sure where you came up with "werman". No such word existed in Old English.

I cannot confirm that the word existed, but the point remains the same. The word "man" did not refer to the male gender, but to human beings of either gender. The word for a man was "wer", not "man," and the "man" suffix in "woman" simply referred to being human. So "woman" isn't a lesser term, or a definition of a gender based on its opposition to another gender, but simply a compound word that combines "wife" with "human." You may be right that the word "werman" didn't exist, as I see with further research that some have claimed it to be a myth. I stand corrected if that's the case. (I did spend a few months studying Old English in college, but that was long ago).

No one was saying the meanings of the component words were the same as they are now. "A man who is a wife" is accurate (in terms of the original meanings) and amusing (in terms of their current meanings)
