Wednesday Word: Jentacular

[calzephyr]

Jentacular - adjective.

Rhyming with spectacular, jentacular (jen-TAK-yuh-luhr) is an archaic word with Latin roots to describe a very early breakfast-time. Some of you may enjoy a variety of jenctular activities!

Here are a couple examples:

• "A fashionable vice which leads only to squandering of money and misspending the morning in jentacular confabulations."


• "But, my dear Miss Flora, leaving Mac to his paper and his post-jentacular pipe, pray do me the favour to fill up the gaps of my knowledge in reference to the early history of your Celtic Scotland."
