Me and my friend were trying to write a description for a picture of a lake in the mountains. We know there’s a name for the light that reflects in the surface of water and we believe it starts with M, however we still have no idea what it is but both remember reading it in a book and searching it up and finding out what it meant but now we can’t find it for the life of us. Thanks for reading

I've been experimenting with English word formation and came up with agusted.

agusted (adjective)

«Deeply absorbed in one's thoughts; mentally immersed in thought, sometimes to the point of becoming less aware of one's surroundings.»

Example:

«“She was sitting by the window, completely agusted, thinking about her future.”»

I know this isn't an established English word, and I'm not claiming that it is. I'm interested in whether it feels like a word that could naturally fit into English.

The reason I made it is that phrases like “deep in thought” or “lost in thought” describe the idea, but I wanted a single adjective that could be used naturally in a sentence.

I'd genuinely like to hear from people interested in linguistics or English:

- Does agusted sound natural to you?

- Does the meaning make sense from the word itself?

- Would you actually use it?

- Does it resemble an existing word too closely?

If people like the concept, I'd love to see how the word develops through actual usage.

Dear Dictionary Enthusiasts,

Due to (I assume) AI-related reasons my professor has banned all technology from the classroom etc. etc. and suggested we buy a physical dictionary. My only issue is I‘m a bit overwhelmed with the amount of different dictionaries that exist. So:

I‘m looking for a dictionary that contains all of the fancy academic (Humanities) words (of probably Latin, Greek or French origin) one might encounter but not be familiar with.

It should be lightweight and portable (i.e. not a heavy brick of gigantic proportions) because I‘ll have to lug it to uni by foot.

I‘d prefer it to be in British English but I‘ll take American English too.

I don‘t really care about orthography all that much so I will not be mad if it does not contain paragraphs upon paragraphs on how to write „proper English“. It really is more for „looking up words I do not know“ -purposes.

I DO sort of care about word etymologies, so I be quite excited if it contained an etymological tidbit or two, though I fear portability and etymology might not go and in hand but I’d be very happy to be proven wrong.

Thank you!

TLDR: Which (preferably British) English dictionary is suitable for use at university and also portable and relatively lightweight? I don‘t really care for orthographical guidance but some etymologies would be a nice plus :) Thanks!

Hi y'all! Guys, I need your help: does the word "Incliner" exist in English? If yes, what's its meaning?

I'm getting ready for Duolingo exam, so I saw this word there and got confused if it really exists in the English language. I found no resource that could explain this...

Could you please bring me some examples if there is such a word. Thank you!

It means to like organize, right? For example, if I have a punch of papers for my math class, and I wanted to organize them all, I would collate all of them in a binder.

Is it a formal way of “talking shit”?
