Random Word Post – exuviate

Tweet

I find a random word by flipping through my 2003 The New Webster’s Concise Dictionary and write a quick – often silly – little post about it. # “To cast off or shed (skin, shell, etc.); molt.” From the Latin exuviae, “parts cast off.” It’s a new year, so now’s the traditional time to exuviate all those aspects of your live you want to change. You’ve probably never heard it put like that before.
