modernwizardAn exceedingly rare occurrence, given that I know the standard "unusual words." Today's word is hypaethral. Can you guess its meaning from the context in the following sentence?
We were thinking of putting a roof over our porch, but, if we leave it hypaethral, we'll get more sunlight and we'll have a convenient location to look at stars on clear nights.
It means roofless. I learned it at FreeRice, a vocab quick with a cheap charity gimmick. My vocab level on the quiz fluctuates between 47 and 50, although, now, after 200 words, I see that they are recycling some. What's your score?
