Today's word

irrupt /ih-RUPT / - 1. to rush in forcibly or violently 2. (of a natural population) to undergo a sudden upsurge in numbers especially when natural ecological balances and checks are disturbed 3. to become active or violent especially suddenly : erupt
This is a new one for me. Don't imagine I'll ever use the third sense of it.
