guerdon

[prettygoodword]

guerdon - n., a reward, recompense. v., to reward.


"Sir Knight, receive thy guerdon." From Old French werdoun, from Medieval Latin widerdonum, an alteration of Old High German widarlōn, which is widar, again, back + lōn, reward. Payback time!

Bonus word: colewart - n., cabbage.

I haven't told you this before, but I really, really like the words you post here. While I may not use them right now, I know I'm squirreling them away in some corner of my brain for later.

So thank you. :)

De nada.

That's mostly what I'm doing, really -- squirreling them away. That or reminding myself they're in my stache.
