In a word
As you know, I love words, linguistics, languages, puns, word games, etc. I used the word Trist today, and then realized I should look it up because I wasn't clear on its meaning. I was not disappointed! This is such an interesting word that inherently captures many complexities. I shall use it more liberally:
1. Trust.
2. A post, or station, in hunting.
3. A secret meeting, or the place of such meeting; a tryst.
1. Sad; sorrowful; gloomy.
