It's the Word of the Day for April 17th.
Today's word is Ankuth, spelled U-N-C-O-U.
It describes things such as language or behavior that are impolite or socially unacceptable.
A person may also be described as uncouth if they are behaving in a rude way.
Here's the word used in a sentence from lithub.com.
Perhaps people deride those who buy books solely for how they look
because it reminds them that despite their primary love of literature,
they still appreciate a beautiful cover.
It's not of primary importance, but liking how something looks in your home matters to some extent,
even if it feels uncouth to acknowledge.
Old English speakers used the word cooth to describe things that were familiar to them.
and uncouth for the strange and mysterious.
These words passed through Middle English into Modern English with different spellings but the same meanings.
While cooth eventually dropped out of use, uncouth soldiered on.
In Captain Singleton by novelist Daniel Defoe, for example,
the author refers to a strange noise more uncouth than any they had ever heard,
while Shakespeare wrote of an uncouth forest in As You Like It.
This unfamiliar sense of uncouth, however,
joined cooth in becoming, well, unfamiliar to most English users,
giving way to the now-common meanings, rude or lacking, polish or grace.
