Passing Curiosity

Word of the Day

Today's Word of the Day is: unbosom.



Some words derived from archaic or specialised usage, like disrobe perhaps, have evolved to have a more general meaning. Unbosom, though sounds contrived, a little bit naughty and, to me at least, gives not the slightest hint of its meaning: to confide (one's thoughts or secrets).
