So WOTD gets consistently interesting while I'm on vacation. Some catching up, starting with today's:
wifty \WIF-tee\ - eccentrically silly, giddy, or inane : ditzy
kedge \KEJ\ - to move a ship by means of a line attached to a small anchor dropped at the distance and in the direction desired
anthophilous \an-THAH-fuh-lus\ - feeding upon or living among flowers
tucket \TUCK-ut\ - a fanfare on a trumpet
sciential \sye-EN-shul\ - 1. relating to or producing knowledge or science 2. having efficient knowledge : capable
hydromancy \HYE-druh-man-see\ - divination by the appearance or motion of liquids (as water)
scupper \SKUP-er\ - British : to defeat or put an end to : do in
bruit \BROOT\ (v) - report, rumor — usually used with about
Several of these I probably could have had a good stab at. I didn't include tetralogy in the list . . .
