Wednesday Word: Subfusc
Subfusc - adjective or noun.
Subfusc can refer to drab colours or a gloomy mood when used as an adjective. Perhaps it's unsurprising that when subfusc is used as a noun, it refers to full academic dress at the University of Oxford. Who knew? Thankfully, Wikipedia has you covered! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_dress_of_the_University_of_Oxford#Subfusc
