WELCOME to the rolling word log - the new log of beautiful words. This is a word free for all - with all the most beautiful, obscure words I have discovered in my own journey through language and a literary exploration of the rare and the unusual. All the words in this log are different and they are not categorized like the rest of the website.
Let’s talk about the beauty of words.
The beauty of words - does not come from the design, layout, and colors of their presentation, although they may attract you if they are presented in animage. If the word fails to deliver the beauty of “the punch” or the expected meaning, then the power behind the beautiful word loses its impact. It becomes just another word.

WORDS ARE POWERFUL
What makes them powerful is the emotional impact on the reader - what the word means (it’s definition) can be taken in many different ways depending on you. You may relate to the word because it triggers nostalgia, curiosity or creativity or because it empowers, inspires or stimulates you. It may be thought provoking, uplifting, calming or helpful to you. Deep, meaningful words can help you understand yourself, the world around you, and the ideas and concepts that shape our shared human experience. The power of my beautiful words stems from their obscurity or rarity. The words are not common, and some may be newly coined, ancient, archaic, antiquated, obscure, unusual or they may be untranslatable or loan words from another language such as Latin, Greek, French or even Urdu or Arabic. Some may have philosophical, psychological, clinical, technical, religious, or mythological connotations. To sum it up simply - you never know what you will find in this dictionary.
All the words come from global literary and language resources with modern or historical etymological references. I try to include as much information as I can, so some may have an in-depth perspective or analysis and others may just be a simple definition. It depends on what resources are available. I call these words “beautiful words” because of their rarity or obscurity but also because as a logophile, words are beautiful to me. I publish them to bring them into common usage and to help readers like you boost your vocabulary for your own curiosity, interest, intellectual development, and for use in your communications and writing. They can also be used in Scrabble and Words With Friends!
I hope you enjoy your journey through this lexicon and I hope you find meaning and understanding in these words and come to appreciate the beauty of language and words.
