Today's words

Can't believe I didn't record anything from the WOTD while we were gone.  Must've been too busy enjoying time with our grandchildren!

Corrade - to wear or crumble away by abrasion
Factitious - 1. produced by humans rather than by natural forces. 2. not natural or genuine : artificial
Moiety - one of two equal parts
Baksheesh - payment (such as a tip or bribe) to expedite service
Climacteric - 1. a major turning point or critical stage 2. male or female menopause 3. the marked and sudden rise in the respiratory rate of fruit just prior to full ripening

(I didn't know that fruit respired, per se, but I suppose that makes sense.)
