Wondrous Words Wednesday-June 1

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!

I've been able to get back to reading The Transformation of Bartholomew Fortuno by Ellen Bryson and here is the new word that I learned while reading it:

Erudite:  characterized by great knowledge; learned or scholarly.

Here is how erudite was used on page 30 of the Advanced Reader's Edition:
When I'd first come to the Museum, my act was a bit more erudite.

So did you learn any new words this last week?
