raconteur

Pronounced: ra-kahn-TUHR, noun

Notes: I’ve run across this word, but I didn’t know the exact meaning


Yesterday’s phrase

The phrase inter alia means “among other things”

First usage

Our phrase came into English in the mid-1600s

Background / Comments

I know I’ve spoken the phrase “in other words…”, so (if I can remember), our phrase would be pretty useful. It came from the Latin words inter (among) combined with alius (other).
