the Horologicon

Mark Forsyth, presents ‘a dayâ€s jaunt through the lost words of the English Languageâ€: from Uhtceare, the Old English word for ‘lying awake before dawn and worryingâ€, and break of day; through washing and dressing in front of a tooting-glass (the mirror); working or quomodocunquizing (making money in any way that you can); then on to supper (or is it dinner?) and so to bed, or dreamery.
