i define words for fun

I like words and on this blog I will define random words for fun. I will tag the words,the letters they start with, and their parts of speech so that you can search them here. I'll post their parts of speech, their synonyms and antonyms, and use the word in a sentence. I will tag any obvious trigger warnings, but if you would like me to tag another one just send me an ask and if be happy to do it.
