Word Nerd: A Bevy of “S” words
Bobbling through my collection of words I noticed more than a few “S” words and thought a shaking out might be a good idea.
saponify: convert into soap
segue: smoothly transitioning from one thing to another
scholarch: the head of a school
swain: a male admirer
stravage: to wander aimlessly
sinsyne: from that time; since then
sylvan: relating to the woods
Out of all these I do so like stravage, as wandering aimlessly is an enjoyable pastime.
There are benefits to wandering aimlessly, I suppose. Being a person who usually has an agenda, I find the concept of walking without purpose I find it difficult to accept the idea of walking without an aim. Yet, this video provides a convincing persuasion that wandering aimlessly actually has a purpose.
Are you one who wanders with purpose or one who wanders without aim?
