Word Woman

Welcome to another wild and wonderful episode of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! Continuing the celebration of the 100 Words of Word Woman, I'll be posting words 26-50 today, right after we look at word #101, which is:

Scriniary: [skrye-nee-err-ee] a keeper of the archives, an archivist. From a Latin word meaning 'a box for books and papers; a writing desk'. -- "More Weird and Wonderful Words", Erin McKean, Ed., Oxford University Press, New York, 2003.

Example: Mary was the scriniary of the family, keeping genealogical records and old photos neatly filed in boxes for future reference.
