Word of the Day!

In this economy, I’ve been thinking it might be wise to explore traditional jobs, just to supplement my income. One traditional job I am thinking about is the subject of today's story. It's a short story, but, sometimes, that's all you need. 

campanologist ( KAMP – an – ol – o – jist )  noun. Latin and Greek. one that practices or is skilled in the art of bell ringing, one who studies bells.

This word is one of those formed from both Latin and Greek, during the era when speakers of English were looking back to classical languages and reinvigorating them with new formations, and this one dates to 1857. This word is firstly Latin, "campana" for bell, and "ologie" or "ologist" from the Greek, for "study of," just like all our sciences or various courses of studies (biology, theology, ecology, geology, etc.)
