Today’s word of the day is…
Amanuensis
Oh my, how very droll, this word! Yet it means something very common!
It is a truly fancy and snobby word for an assistant!
Alas, an amanuensis would usually take diction for a writer, poet, etc…
In other words, if you are a university student, and you have a note taker in class; that person is an amanuensis, regardless of what the course is.
But; I highly doubt you will see adverts seeking “A skilled Amanuensis, apply within…”!
Probably, once I get my novel published, and I start the third, I might need an amanuensis!
Stay tuned! Haha!
thank you for reading!
