Rustle
Filed Under R | Leave a Comment
It brings up memories of soft breezes stirring up the countryside in seasons past. There was a tree near my childhood home which had a thick verdure of dangling, roughly circular leaves. When the wind ran through them, it would let out a soft whisper like a muffled rain stick. The word rustle embodies for me the gentler side of nature; just saying it in my head can send me into calming daydreams.

I fell in love with this word about a year ago thanks to Wordsmith.org’s daily email, upon reading this delicious definition: “Having a changeable luster like that of a cat’s eye at night.” I love cats and cats eyes and cats-eye stones and things that shine at night. This French word sounds as lovely and sophisticated as the phenomenon itself.

I love that there’s a word for the noise caused by gas moving through your intestines, and that it’s so onomatopoetic!
