I’ve been looking up words Austen uses in her novels that I don’t know the meaning of:
Coxcomb: a vain and conceited man, a dandy
Bilious: nausea or vomiting
Piquet: a card game with two players
Tippet: a long fur scarf or shawl worn around the neck and shoulders
Sanguine: optimistic or positive
Cara sposo: a dear husband
Pertinacity: sticking to an opinion or purpose, stubbornly tenacious
Verdure: fresh green color and vegetation
Segacity: discernment, foresight
And this is just the beginning…..
