Lexicographer, etymologist, and star of British game show "Countdown," Susie Dent, posted an incredibly appropriate "word of the day" on her social media following yesterday's election in the United States: recrudescence. She wrote:
"Word of the day is 'recrudescence' (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve."
The post "Recrudescence" is the word of the day appeared first on Boing Boing.
