panoply

Pronounced: PAH-nuh-plee, noun

Notes: I seem to remember reading this word, but I didn’t really know the correct definition


Yesterday’s word

The word silvicolous means “living or growing in the woods”

First usage

Our word came into English in the first decade of the 1900s

Background / Comments

I should have worked out the meaning of our word; after I saw the definition, I remembered the word “silvan” that is related to forests. Indeed, our word came from the Latin words silvi- (wood) and -colous (inhabiting).
