My Word - Esoteric.

Definition from English Cambridge Dictionary - very unusual and understood or liked by only a small number of people, especially those with special knowledge.

My Connection - I have always had a deep love for both the words "esoteric" and "exoteric" (the opposite of esoteric) and the strange duality between the words. I have always enjoyed learning things that not everyone might know and going down little rabbit holes. At the same time, I believe knowledge should be accessible to everyone and anyone. Even if some things are harder to comprehend and understand than others.

My Poem

esoteric (follow) intellect

eclectic inspirate

exoteric (fallow) interject

ecstatic instigate

enigmatic (fellow) hard to elaborate

egregious not to exacerbate

edict (follow) the expostulate

elicit the expatiate

ensconce (follow) the existential

*

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Apologies for the influx of things from me over the last few days. Had a big gust of inspiration for many of the challenges and thought I'd capitalise on it. This is for Penny Fuller's Part E: The A-Z of Unusual Words Challenge, which you can find out more about below.
