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:
runnel
Pronounced: (RUN-uhl)
Noun:
a small stream or channel
From Wordsmith.org: “From Old English rinnan (to run). Ultimately from the Indo-European root rei- (to flow or run), which also gave us run, rival, and derive. Earliest documented use: 1577.”
Example:
“The pastoral property features an apple orchard as well as a burbling runnel.”
