Word of the Day

Hello ancient followers. It is one half of your leaders speaking. Having not posted for a ridiculous time on the blog of English truth, I felt that an apology was due. So... sorry. But here's a brand new word of the day to cheer everyone up!

Today's Word:

Azure

Blue transparency

Sentence example: The azure lake expanded before her as she rested on its banks, pondering what to do next.

And since that word isn't used everyday, here is another. Also not used particularly often.

Marl

1. Archaic word for earth
2. A sort of fertilizer made from clay and calcium... or something.

I'm not doing a sentence example. It would be ridiculous.

Thank Milton's Paradise Lost for these wonderfully weird words. Toodle pip until tomorrow!
