Q: What is the BIGGEST word you’ve seen used in a book lately – that made you stop and look it up? Might as well leave the definition & book too.
Um. I'm not sure if BIGGEST should be in size or in vocabulary level. Anyway. Since my vocab is not that.. large/expanded.. I actually keep a vocab journal! Technically I look up every word I don't know. LOL. So I just chose a random word from there. My word is..
obsequious-Obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree.
I think that word was from one of the Mortal Instruments books! (TOTALLY LOVE THOSE SO MUCH)
If you follow me, just comment below and I'll be more than glad to follow back! (:
Yay for a vocab journal! I use to have one. Then I got lazy :)

Obsequious..great word! I think a vocab journal is a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteThe word I had to look up was from David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas. Check it out here
Thanks for stopping by my FF post earlier, I am following you back via GFC.
ReplyDeleteObsequious is a good word, and I think it's great that you keep a journal, it's the best way to expand your vocabulary :)

I don't normally look up words unless I'm reading on my kindle as its quick and easy. I use to have a vocab journal but stopped a few years ago.

I used to do that, believing that at some point of time I might actually go over them and learn them. Never happened, so I stopped keeping the journal. *shrug*

Happy Friday!
That is awesome that you keep a vocab journal. I should do that, but I'm too lazy. Obsequious is an awesome word. I LOVE TMI too.

I wish I had as much patience as you do. I usually say ehhh and end up skipping the word because I'm to lazy. New follower!
