And Another Quirky Word

Have you ever shown off, strutted about vainly like a peacock? There’s a word to describe that and it’s derived from the Latin, pavo, meaning peacock.

Verb – pavonise or pavonize.

It’s not a word in common usage today though has been highlighted by Susie Dent, lexicographer, on social media.

Can you find a way to sneak it into conversation?
