Lost Words of Time

from Philosophics — Philosophical and Political Ramblings · host Bry Willis

The segment explores archaic and obsolete English words describing time, such as "eldornight" and "overmorrow." It highlights the nuanced temporal distinctions these words conveyed, contrasting them with modern English's more limited vocabulary. The author, prompted by a contemplation of lost words, consulted ChatGPT to compile this list and suggests reviving some of these terms. The post showcases the richness of historical English and reflects on the evolution of language. https://philosophics.blog/2025/01/26/yesterday-and-today/
