I had to turn back to my Word-a-Day Calendar for a new to me word this week.
1. concomitant – “Conservationists are gravely concerned about the increasing logging in the area and the concomitant displacement of wildlife.”
Concomitant is an adjective that means accompanying, especially in a subordinate or incidental way.

2. oriflamme – “For many Americans, the photograph of the Iwo Jima flag raising served as an oriflamme and a reminder of the sacrifices and courage of the American servicemen.”
Orriflamme is a noun and it means a banner, symbol, or ideal inspiring devotion or courage.

What words do you want to celebrate today?
I think there’s a cosmetics brand called Oriflamme??
Concomitant is a good useful word! I see it all the time. Oriflamme to me is a fancy word that I would never use myself. Interesting choice!

I like the meaning of oriflamme. It seems as if oriflammes can lose their power from overuse over time and new oriflammes must arise to take their place, just like words.
1 out of 2!

Orriflamme is new to me!
I like oriflamme. New to me.
Love these words, both are new to me!
It’s funny how oriflamme seems like such an attractive word. I wish I had a reason to use it, but even if one arose, I no doubt would have forgotten it by then! :–)
Oriflamme is a good wondrous word to keep in mind for future use!
Very new to me
Sounds like some great words. This blog hop is very new to me. I’ll have to try it.
