While
I was washing the dishes yesterday I dropped one of the dishes into the washing
up water; it didn’t break but I jarbled myself.
At least, at one time I might have claimed I had done so. Sadly the word is archaic and no longer
in use.
It meant to splatter
with something wet or muddy; to besmirch.
I like that archaic word!
ReplyDeleteNew word for me! Not even in the many old books I have been reading this has ever come up.
ReplyDeleteLovely word, and I do it all the time how can it have fallen out of use:-)
