philargyry

Pronounced: fill-ARJ-uh-ree, noun

Notes: A good word that I’ve not heard of


Yesterday’s word

The word tantara is “the blare of a trumpet or horn”

First usage

Our word came into English in the mid-1500s

Background / Comments

I like this word because I have a friend that plays the trumpet… so it’s nice to have an appropriate word to use. Our word came from the Latin word taratantara, supposed to be a word that sounded like the sound of a war trumpet.
