Yesterday’s word
The word duoliteral means “having two letters”
First usage
Our word came into English in the mid 1800s
Background / Comments
After seeing the definition, I thought “of course!”. It is quite a long long to describe something with two letters. I keep thinking of our word as a noun, with the idea of “a word with two letters”, but that’s not correct. Per the definition, anything that uses two letters — thus, the abbreviation for “Bachelor of Arts” (BA) is duoliteral. Finally, we have here a word with all of the vowels in reverse order.
