Do you know this word?

Post by jonesthecurl »

One of the people who is commenting/proofreading/etc my latest work said "I didn't know this word, and nor did my husband".
The word was "salubrious".
How 'bout you?

I have heard of this word, but did not recall its meaning.

adjective
health-giving; healthy.

https://www.google.com/search?q=salubrious&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS777US777&oq=salubrious&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i433l2j0l7.5237j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

It is likely from the same origin as salud:
What Salud means?
health
Salud is a Spanish word meaning “health.” For English speakers, it's most familiar meaning is for the toast Cheers!

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/salud

interjection Spanish.
(used after a person has sneezed or as a toast.)

(same source)

History and Etymology for salubrious
Latin salubris; akin to salvus safe, healthy — more at SAFE

I did know the word, but then again, I'm smarter than the average bear. I wouldn't expect a random member of the public to know it.

I had to look up this word:
Litotes is a figure of speech and a form of understatement in which a sentiment is expressed ironically by negating its contrary. For example, saying "It's not the best weather today" during a hurricane would be an example of litotes, implying through ironic understatement that the weather is, in fact, horrible.


This one, too:
Lalochezia is the emotional relief that a person may feel after cursing. Sometimes lalochezia is also used to refer to the use of profanity to provide such relief.

If this thread is supposed to be a litmus test for intelligence, I failed. I even had to look up totes: carry, wield, or convey (something heavy or substantial).
