'The Pleistocene', 'zit', 'hook-and-eye', and 'orchil'
The Pleistocene is referred to colloquially as the Ice Age. 'The name is a combination of Ancient Greek πλεῖστος (pleîstos) "most" and καινός (kainós; Latinized as cænus) "new".' It lasted from c. 2.58 million to 12 thousand years ago.
Zit (informal/slang) is a synonym for pimple. The word's origin is unknown, but it is known that its first recorded use was in 1965.
Hook-and-eye closure is now used primarily on bras. Used in rows, such closures are perfect for adjusting the piece of clothing.
Orchil is 'a red or violet dye obtained from certain lichens, used as a source of litmus, orcinol, and other pigments'. It is also known as orcein. Let me remind you that litmus paper is used to test whether a solution is acidic or basic.
I am on sea holiday, and the temperature over 35 degrees centigrade prevents me from sitting in a stuffy reception for a long time. Do not expect many posts on the channel soon. That said, I read a lot and, consequently, revise and deepen my knowledge of the words I already know. At the same time, I encounter new phrases and idioms in articles about these words. All this creates a heyday for words of the day. They promise to be very diverse and fascinating.
