Weird Words Part 2 – Resarciate

I’ll try and keep these words as weird, different, unrelated and unexpected as possible. Its been on my mind since this idea went live (31 minutes ago 🤣).

My second word relates to relationships and trying to mate things right.

Resarciate

Resarciate meaning on Dictionary.com – A transitive verb that means to make amends for something, such as apologizing after saying something hurtful to a loved one.

Steph’s thoughts – I had to do a bit of research on this one because once I found it, it didn’t seem to exist in many of the usual places. Oxford English Dictionary, Collins and even Wikipedia are ignoring ‘resarciate’ like in just farted in an elevator.

Why? I have no idea.

For the word itself I have a couple of thoughts. We all make mistakes, we all argue, sometimes we even hurt each other and then we all have problems finding the right words to say to put things back and apologise for our part of the mess.

Next time you need to put things straight, do so knowing that you are using ‘resarciate’ effectively. I guess you’ll be resarciating?! That’s a stretch in my part, but you get what I’m saying.

I resarciate.

I’m sorry.
