embrocation \ˌem-brə-'kā-shən\ - liniment
Had probably heard this one before, sometime.minyan \ˈmin-yən\, plural min·ya·nim\ˌmin-yə-ˈnēm\ or min·yans - the quorum required for Jewish communal worship that consists of ten male adults in Orthodox Judaism and usually ten adults of either sex in Conservative and Reform Judaism
I'd probably heard this one before, too.moiety \ˈmȯi-ə-tē\ - 1a:. one of two equal parts : half b. one of two approximately equal parts
2. one of the portions into which something is divided : component, part
I knew this one looked familiar, but didn't recall it. Then I did a search of my own blog, and there it was, in a catch-up post of Words of the Day that I'd missed on vacation, of which it was (obviously) one. I felt compelled to go back to that post and add links to each of those, and revisit the ones that still seem foreign.
