Three beautiful words from lexicographer, Suzie Dent, on the Something Rhymes With Purple podcast:

* Ugsome - from a Viking word meaning repellent
* Apricity - the feeling of the sun on a winter's day
* Forswunk - exhausted after a day's labour

Let me know if you manage to drop any of them into conversation.

I learned a lovely word today on #somethingrhymeswithpurple podcast.

#Eunoia

Eunoia is a noun that refers to a state of well-intentioned goodwill and beautiful thinking toward others. It is derived from the Greek word meaning "goodwill towards others" or "beautiful thinking." Eunoia embodies the idea of having a positive mindset and sincere empathy, focusing on the well-being and happiness of others without any ulterior motives. 1/2
