Well also rondeur can also refer to a woman's body curves.

I came across the word last night while reading the book Slow Waltz In Cedar Bend by the same author who did Bridges of Madison County. Be the time I reached page 7 I had learned at least three new words

That's very cool! So, context is critical to understanding how any word or term.is used. Sometimes an word is used as an noun, verb or adverb, or even as an euphemism or as an metaphor.... very nice discovery!



So, what is your New Word?

BTW, I liked that movie "Bridges over Madison County" ..... both books you're reading sound very good!
