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.

That's totally new to me. I would never have guessed it's meaning. Thanks for playing along!
I tell you, I'm finding more words in the Maisie Dobbs words I don't know. I didn't know Dekko either.
