I read from eductor to e'er. Yup, Edward VII (the 7th) reigned from 1901 to 1910. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_VII The word of the episode is "edutainment". The word was first used by Disney in the 1950s, but then again in the 1970s by National Geographic which seems like that's when it started to catch on more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_entertainment Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://www.threads.net/@dictionarypod https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757

I read from edition to educ. Here! Go learn about the ancient Edoms and their language Edomite! By the way, the Hebrew word "edom" means Red. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edomite_language The word of the episode is "editor".

I read from edema to edge city. It looks like scientists have since replaced "edentata" with the more accurate Superorder "Xenarthra" which absolutely sounds like an alien race in a 1980s movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenarthra The word of the episode is "edge city".

I read from ed to edelweiss. If "eddy current" seems like it should be related to water, that's because the term DOES come from the similar phenomenon in water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current The word of the episode is "edacious".

I read from ectoparasite to eczema. So is it a coincidence that ECU and écu are spelled the same? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Currency_Unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cu Ecumenism is about unity! But not unity across all religions. Personally, I don't care for organized religion, but you gotta do what's right for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenism The terms "eczema" and "dermatitis" are often used interchangeably because it's an inflammation of the skin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatitis This YouTube video is where I heard about the black and white version of Raiders of the Lost Ark. https://youtu.be/ItbCLh4Auoo?si=93AnYhb7knSflyxB And this is Soderbergh's blog post with the full video. I will definitely have to watch this someday because it looks beautiful https://extension765.com/blogs/soderblog/raiders The word of the episode is "ectoplasm". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectoplasm_(paranormal) Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://www.threads.net/@dictionarypod https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
I read from ecotoxicology to -ectomy. I think fans of this show are an ecotype from the rest of the human species. I'm not of the science of that, but I'm sure it's true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotype I'm just going to use "ectoderm" to describe all of these things: "Generally speaking, the ectoderm differentiates to form epithelial and neural tissues (spinal cord, peripheral nerves and brain). This includes the skin, linings of the mouth, anus, nostrils, sweat glands, hair and nails,[3] and tooth enamel." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectoderm Somatotypes (which include "ectomorphic") does not seem like goo science. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatotype_and_constitutional_psychology#The_three_types Listen to Weird Al's song here: https://youtu.be/dNky_uNl1gk?si=klpvG2Ib7NUzg__P I truly hope some of these -ectomies are not performed anymore except in medically necessary conditions. Van Gogh performed his own auriculectomy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_-ectomies The word of the episode is "ecstasy". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDMA Theme music from Tom Maslowski https://zestysol.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://www.threads.net/@dictionarypod https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
I read from economical to ecotourism to my cousin Ryan Chahrour. He's an economist and you can see what he's up to at his website chahrour.net. https://sites.google.com/view/chahrour/home I have very smart cousins. Me...not so much. He spoke about the fisher equation and you can get more info about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_equation The word of the episode is "ecotone". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotone Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/ Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/ Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://www.threads.net/@dictionarypod https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757
