Word: drunkardry Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From drunkard + -ry. 1. The quality of being a drunkard. Labels: rare, uncountable Example: When the hour of departure arrives, you see the pavement and carriage way of Bow Street studded with a choice assemblage of the raggedry, ruffianry, felonry, misery, drunkardry, and drabbery, whom the infamous hundred of Drury [Lane], and the scarcely less infamous tithing of Covent [Garden], have cast out into a thoroughfare which, two hours hence, will be re-echoing to the wheels of carriages bearing noble lords and ladies to listen to the delicious [Angiolina] Bosio in the “Traviata,” or the enchanting notes of [Enrico] Tamberlik in “Otello.” Example: Fallacy of the consequent.

Word: mental-disordered Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From mental disorder + -ed. 1. Having a mental disorder. Labels: rare Example: “That’s a powerful statement – that there is no explanation for this type of violence.
