No new words in my reading this week so I had to turn to my Word-a-Day calendar.
1. indagate – “The defense attorneys requested an adjournment so they could fully indagate the new evidence.”
Indagate is a verb that means to search into: investigate.

2. miscible – “Mr. Remington’s class demonstration showed that, to paraphrase an old saying, oil and water are indeed not miscible.”
Miscible is an adjective that means capable of being mixed; specifically: capable of mixing in any ratio without separation of two phases.

3. commove – “He who has seen the sea commoved with a great hurricane, thinks of it very differently from him who has seen it only in a calm.” — Robert Louis Stevenson, The Silverado Squatters
In this case, commove means to move violently: agitate. It can also mean to rouse intense feeling in: excite to passion.

What words do you want to celebrate today?
I know the word ‘miscible’ from chemistry, but ‘commove’ and ‘indicate’ are both new to me. I like ‘commove’!
0-3 – and not even close!
Clueless! Great words, Kathy.
Wow! These are all new to me… although miscible sounds somewhat familiar in some dark corner of my brain. Thanks for sharing!
I knew none of them.
Excellent words! I did not know/remember these.
Those are all new to me.
New words learned today.

As usual, your calendar has given us some great new words. I like miscible. I can see me using that.
All three were totally new to me but I don’t think I’ve ever known a word from your calendar!
