Speeches / a lost word speech [6]
I have an assignment to write a speech about a lost word
Lost word defines as a word that was popular in the past, but has either been drop out of normal modern English conversation or one that lost it original meaning.
The assignment asks for the definition, origin of the word, how it was used in conversation, and the reason that it was drop out of modern English.
Now, I think finding a lost word should be easy enough, as I have a few word in mind already, but if anyone have a suggestion, please tell me.
The hard part is where can I to further information on a lost word. I've been trying to research the few word I have in mind, but haven't gotten anything I can use in a speech. For example the word "autexousious" meaning possessing or exercising free will, I couldn't find any information other than its definition on google.
I'm looking for a way to do research on lost word, and also I've been wondering about how to start a lost word eassy.
