This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you an example of how to use it.
This week’s closing word:
eldritch
Pronounced: (ELL-drich)
Adjective:
suggesting the operation of supernatural influences
From Vocabulary.com: “Eldritch things are spooky and weird — they make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. If you’re reading a horror or fantasy story, you may see the word eldritch, which means uncanny, unearthly, and weird in a supernatural way.”
Example:
“The crew hired to clean out the old hoarder’s mansion swore they felt an eldritchpresence lurking in the shadows of the attic.”
