A surprisingly good quiz. Even if you didn’t immediately recognise the words, most were able to be worked out.

I thought I had fairly good vocabulary, but I never heard of these words.

1/9! I'm ok with it. I have never heard of these words before. I must admit I don't even know how to pronounce them, no shame. These words are used by dry stuck up scholars 🇨🇦
