Hey! Wordwise would be a good name for a word puzzle...ok, never mind. Today's post will present some lesser known words which you can choose to work into your verbal repertoire or not. From the Greek word agelastos, meaning grave or gloomy, agelast is a person who never laughs. Also from the Greeks the word noetic means based on intellect. The next word is from Latin ultracrepidarian for a person who judges, we all know at least one of them. The last word was created by author Thomas Hardy, dolorifuge, meaning to boost your spirits. If you're dealing with either a agelast or a ultracrepidarian you will need to enable your dolorifuge.
