1word1dayMorion - noun.
Morion is a bonus word with multiple meanings!
Originally I thought it was just this type of helmet worn used in Spain during the early 1500s to early 1600s.
Then, it turns out it's also a genus of ground-dwelling beetles, such as the Morion monilicornis pictured below.
Annnnnnd it's also a kind of smoky, brown-grey quartz.
