Words of the week

English
Effluvium: an invisible emanation; especially : an offensive exhalation or smell. A by-product especially in the form of waste.


German
Bedeutsamkeit: (Transcendence) In philosophy, the adjective transcendental and the noun transcendence convey three different but somehow related primary meanings, all of them derived from the word's literal meaning (from Latin), of climbing or going beyond.


Español
Rostrituerto: Wry-faced from sadness or anger.
