Good word suggestion: Hunker

Postby fmyers » Mon Mar 16, 2020 5:53 pm

In today's news about the coronavirus we are all told to "hunker down". The word "hunker" seems strange. It rhymes with "clunky" and it's hard to grasp what this word has to do with isolation, although it seems to suggest crouching or even hiding. But even without understanding it very well I like the word and I think we all would like to know more about it. Hence I suggest it as topic for your "Word of the Day".

Thanks,

Frank Myers

Treated in 2008, 2016, and 2020.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
