Epeolatry: Worship of words.
That’s about as obsure a word as you can find. The only reason I know about is from Anu Garg’s word of the day email. Every day I check my email and a handful of other sites for new and obscure words to explore. Given that I’ve just put out my list of words of the year, I decided it’d be a good time for a Word of the Day article. Below are websites that offer up a word (or a handful of words) every day for your linguaphilistic pleasures.
Dictionary.com: I’ve been checking this site every day for almost four years.
NYTimes
Wordsmith.org: This is Anu Garg’s site. They also have a word of the day email you can subscribe to. It’s consistantly well-written and informative.
Marriam-Webster: I don’t tend to care much for their popup advertizements.
Oxford English Dictionary
OneLook: This one is cool. It shows 5 of the words most often searched for on their dictionary.
If you have any more, send em my way!
