Two words from the past for people and habits you might recognise:

monologist (18th century): someone who goes on and on and monopolises a conversation.

nod-crafty (17th century): prone to nodding vigorously when you actually tuned out an hour ago.

On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, #OnThisDay in 1916, the British suffered 57,000 casualties, of whom 19,000 were killed.

There would be as many as 1.2 million British, French and German casualties by the time the battle ended, on 18 November.

Two Latin words for a star or constellation: 'aster' and 'sidus'. They glimmer across English:
disaster: an ill-starred event.
asterisk: a little star.
astronaut: a star-sailor.
consider: to observe the stars.
desire: to wish upon a star.
