WsOTD

<whine>
The last 5 Words of the Day on Merriam Webster's site, in chronological order:

  • pacify
  • recalcitrant
  • hiatus
  • skulk
  • accident
Okay, so maybe not all of these are everyday vocabulary - particularly "recalcitrant" - and I realize that sometimes the WOTD is more about etymology and related words (today WOTD discusses words that descend from the Latin "cadere," meaning "to fall") but, c'mon, can I please get something new in the span of 5 days?
