Here’s our word of the day! 💬 Apricity – (n.) the warmth of the sun in winter. ☀️❄️ According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Apricity appears to have entered our language in 1623, when Henry Cockeram recorded (or possibly invented) it for his dictionary The English Dictionary; or, An Interpreter of Hard English Words. Unfortunately, it never quite caught on and cannot be found in any modern dictionary aside from the Oxford English Dictionary. Source: https://ausgeo.co/apricity #wordoftheday
