Merry Am Webster!

Abstract

What makes a word interesting? I ask this rhetorically, not inviting specific response. One has only to scan Word Ways articles to realize that some logophiles fancy word length, while others prefer word construction, word sounds, geographical names, and so forth. Chacun a son gout! The charm of any word obviously lies in the eye of the beholder.
