Wordylator
Doesn’t it feel like a Sunday? The wordylator (me) has her days all mixed up. “It was a Sunday—not a day, but rather a gap between two days…” begins Crazy Sunday by F. Scott Fitzgerald. “…And now Sunday, with individual life starting up again, with a glow kindling in eyes that had been glazed with monotony the afternoon before.” #wordylator #wordoftheday

Today, I put an unfamiliar word in the wordylator (me). From James Agee’s “A Death in the Family” comes the word meeching: “He tried still to be careful, more out of courtesy, she felt, than meeching, but it was clear to her that his heart was set on a thunderous fleecy check [cap] in jade-green...which stuck out inches to either side above his ears and had a great scoop of visor beneath which his face was all but lost.”

In George Orwell's "Coming Up for Air" is an unusual word: zenana.
Let's put zenana in the wordylator (me) and find out what it means.
“But in reality she lived her life in a space that must have been as small and almost as private as the average zenana. Even in our own house there were parts where she never set foot.”
