Vellichor- Daily Word №10
Vellichor? What even is this?
Today’s word is an interesting one, because it’s not a word! vellichor is an invented word that hasn’t been around for too long, so this post is going to be shorter than usual.
I came across this queer word from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows quite some time ago, and instantly got drawn into it. This word captures the image of a bookstore filled with thousands of old books that you would never have time to read.
This word is used to describe the awe as we enter such a magical place — An annex littered with thoughts left just as they were on the day that they were captured.
There is no offical way to use this word, but I’ll try nonetheless:
“The old bookshop by the beach always fills me with a sense of vellichor.”
Tell me if you would like to see more of these words.
See you.
