Word of the Week - Archive

Each week during UK term-time we add a new Word of the Week to this section. Experienced lexicographers draw on huge computer resources of current usage, normally accessible only to university departments and dictionary publishers, and provide a language activity for interesting follow-up work. Nine more words are explored in the free resources section.
