DAY 297 of 365 Days of Literacy for Kids:
Obsolete words are no longer in general use and may have fallen out of favor for nearly a century or more, but who says obsolete and rarely used words can’t be revived by kids who love words?
Today’s word is FACINOROUS, meaning extremely wicked or vile.
The word facinorous derives from the Latin facinus, meaning a bad deed, and is traced back to the 16th century.
Kids will love the word facinorous because it describes something so bad.
Use the word facinorous with your kids and grandkids today to explain wicked or vile behavior… not yours or theirs, of course.
Join me each day here for OCTOBER OBSOLETE – 365 DAYS OF LITERACY FOR KIDS! – fun, easy and completely do-able!
