Another week has come for us to expand our vocabulary! Today's word is:

Gentrification /jentrəfəˈkāSH(ə)n/

Its verb form, gentrify, and its reduced (noun) form gentry, come from the Anglo-Norman gentil or genterie which describes people that are rich but below the nobility.

It's another week, and we're here to provide you another word!
Indigent /ˈindəjənt/

Originally Latin indigent “lacking” from indigere “into needing” via Old French vocabulary.

It is once again the start of a new week, meaning today a new word will be unlocked.

Folklore /ˈfōklôr/

Folk has a Germanic origin, with volk being its Dutch and German cognates; lore bears the same origins as well, associated with Old English lar, Dutch leer, and German lehre.

Another week calls for another WOTW! Today’s word is:

Kowtow /ˌkouˈtou/

It has Chinese origins: in Mandarin it is ketou, and Cantonese kautau which means “to knock the head”. Historically, vassals of China come to the palace and kneel towards the emperor to honor him.
