Confuddled

A hybrid of ‘confused’ and ‘muddled’. A mutation which further demonstrates the state of the individual described, with a dash of humour.

Cruller
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
The “cr” at the start makes the “r” at the end even more pronounced and interesting. Known as a rich, light, raised doughnut, often with a ridged surface and sometimes topped with white icing. Sometimes called a French cruller.

It is so melodious. It is lovely and it makes me think of lullabies.

Creamware
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
A type of pottery a college professor of anthropology introduced me to. I like the transition between the “cream” and “ware”, it’s unusuaul yet smooth and the word has always conjured up a pleasant looking piece of pottery.

I like the way the “ke” sounds at the end. And when you whisper or say it quietly, it sounds even better.

Cerulean

Soft and piercing, cerulean catches the eye. tropical waters gleam of aquamarine and cerulean. Clean and calm it brings peace and ease.

Conundrum

I first heard this word when I was in high school when a (very smart) friend used it to explain another word for a riddle or puzzle. I’ve loved it ever since. Plus it’s fun to say!

It’s such a light word, involving such delicate tongue movements. It makes me think of brightness and lightness/airy-ness — like sun through clouds, “angel ladders”. Very pretty!

Commiserate
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
I like commiserate because it sings out to those who miserate alone. By having others or even one other to commiserate, one doesn’t feel nearly as lonely.

Crepuscular
Filed Under C | Leave a Comment
Describes (animals’) habit of being active at dawn and dusk. Many interesting and otherwise cute animals fall into this category, including most of the common companion animals (dog, cat, ferret, etc.). Besides, the word just has a certain ring to it.
