What can be more important, as a writer, than words? I love words; their meanings, their origins and use. I particularly like discovering new words.

My quirky word for today is quidnunc, which I first came across in the film, Love Happens. It means an inquisitive or bossy person and its origin is from early 18th century Latin – quid nunc? What now?

I’m sure, at some point, quidnunc is going to appear in one of my stories. It’s too good to pass over.

Do you have a quirky word or a favourite word to share? I’d love to hear from you.
