Semi-rare plain language words that are great to remember

I once spent a lot of time trying and failing to remember the word ‘corollary’, and once I heard it again I was like “ah, finally, there’s that word; now I won’t forget.”

What are some other words like this? I’ll keep an updating list in this post as I find and think of more of them.

Suggestions from me:

  • Corollary

  • Mu
