univocal

Pronounced: you-NIH-vuh-kuhl, adj

Notes: Our word reminds me of “equivocal”, but is this a coincidence?


Yesterday’s word

The word outro is “the concluding part of a piece of music, program, etc”

First usage

Our word came into English in the 1960s

Background / Comments

Musical pieces have an introduction (also called an “intro”). Someone apparently thought that the ending out to also have a word, so “outro” was coined for the ending.
