Yesterday’s word
The word quidnunc is “a person who seeks to know all the latest news or gossip; busybody”
First usage
Our word came into English in the early 1700s
Background / Comments
While the word “busybody” is very descriptive, our word is a good one to sprinkle into conversation. A busybody or gossip always wants to know “what’s new?”. The Latin equivalent of this question is “quid nunc”; literally, “what now”… and this became our word.
