Hapax Legomenon

Filed Under H 

From the Greek “[something] said only once.” A word which occurs only once in the written record of a language, in the works of an author, or in a single text. I’m just seduced by the concept of such a word. The thought of a word only showing up once in the entire written language… wow.
