Wondrous Words # 16
Welcome to Wondrous Words Wednesday, sponsored by Kathy at Bermuda Onion’s Weblog. It’s time to share new words. I found a couple of new words, not one in a book but in a blog. I found these two words on Dorte’s – DJS KRIMIBLOG.
Dorte wrote a great review of Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie. I had to look these words up but that’s okay. It gave me some new words to share with you. So, thanks Dorte.
- Perspicacious: In this first Marple novel she is efficient and perspicacious, but does not appear as sympathetic as in later books. Perspicacious means having a ready insight into and understanding of things
- Supercilious: The police are mainly represented by Inspector Slack, the supercilious type who draws his own hasty conclusions and invariably fails to listen to others. Supercilious means behaving or looking as though one thinks one is superior to others
What new words have you found this week?

Well, Dorte is super sharp – I don’t think English is her native language. I saw a new word on the internet, too, but forgot to write it down. Thanks for participating today!
I liked both of those words.
I was familiar with both these words, but I must admit that I couldn’t have defined supercilious!
I know the former word!
