Today's word

A couple recent Words of the Day:
orgulous /OR-gyuh-lus/ - proud

This is definitely a new one on me. I think for most of my usage, "haughty" (which I thought of before scrolling to the Test Your Vocabulary portion of the post) will suffice.

lapidary /LAP-uh-dair-ee/ - 1. a cutter, polisher, or engraver of precious stones usually other than diamonds 2. the art of cutting gems

So, just to be clear: a lapidary is a practitioner of lapidary.

And a bunch from the Dictionary Devil:
sidereal /sī-ˈdir-ē-əl , sə-/ -  of, relating to, or expressed in relation to stars or constellations : astral

I have encountered this word before and have always understood it in context, but didn't get it without context around it. 

anfractuosity /(ˌ)an-ˌfrak-chə-ˈwä-sə-tē , -shə- ; -chü-ˈä- , -shü-/ - 1. the quality or state of being anfractuous 2. a winding channel or course; especially : an intricate path or process (as of the mind)

I've heard of, and perhaps even used, the term anfractuous before. I've always used the last pronunciation

campanology // - the art of bell ringing

I've practiced this, if hand bells count, but don't know if I've ever heard it called this. Don't know why they don't give a pronunciation, but it's pretty standard.

loblolly /ˈläb-ˌlä-lē/ - 1. dialect a : a thick gruel  b : mire, mudhole  2. dialect : lout  3. loblolly pine

The puzzle used the first definition. The only one I'd ever heard used was the last. 

qiviut /ˈkē-vē-ət , -vē-ˌüt/ -  the wool of the undercoat of the musk ox

Another completely new word for me. I hope I recognize it should I encounter it again.
