Wondrous Words Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Kathy aka Bermuda Onion where we share new (to us) words that we’ve encountered in our reading. Feel free to join in the fun.THE BOOK OF FIRES
by Jane Borodalefustian - He is taller without his leather jerkin, wearing instead a dark frock of fustian over his waistcoat, and I notice how people seem to shrink from his path as we walks through them. (p. 206)
fustian: a fabric of stout twilled cotton or of cotton and low-quality wool, with a short nap or pile.
