Wondrous Words Wednesday-Sept. 23

Bermudaonion asks you to share new words that you have learned during your reading adventures in the last week. Feel free to join in the fun!

Here are a couple new words that I learned while I was reading The Sari Shop Widow by Shobhan Bantwal:

Septuagenarian: [sep-choo-uh-juh-nair-ee-uhn] of the age of 70 years or between 70 and 80 years old.

Here is how septuagenarian was used on page 174:
"A safe gun-toting septuagenarian Indian is an oxymoron."

Ayurvedic: the ancient Hindu art of medicine and of prolonging life.

Here is how ayurvedic was used on page 258:
"I tried everything, including ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines," he continued.

So did you learn any new words this week?

Boy, those words are hard to spell too. Thanks.

Interesting words! The sentence for septuagenarian made me laugh, though!

My words are here.

love the honesty. I choose alot of covers that way.

sometimes it works othertimes oh well.

I am reading The girl with the Dragon Tatoo-and came across some pretty unknown words last night-problem was I was under the weather and just fell asleep-did not even hear my husband come to bed. Hopefully he marked my page.

Ayurvedic is quite a wonderful word! I have always loved septuagenarian and think it's so cool that the word age is right in the middle!

Are you enjoying this book?

A couple more years and I'll be a septuagenarian. But you can be sure I won't be toting a gun. Fun words today. (Actually I'm a day late but you know what I mean.)
