Learn English Words: COTERMINOUS - Meaning, Vocabulary with Pictures and Examples

I just found the term COTERMINOUS MUNICIPALITY in the Rex Stout/Nero Wolfe book Not Quite Dead Enough. It wasn't in the book, but it popped up when I searched for Mount Kisco.

A coterminous municipality is a form of local government in some U.S. states where a municipality and one or more civil townships have partial or complete consolidation of their government functions. This structure allows for coordinated or divided administrative responsibilities while preserving the legal autonomy of each entity.

What is onomatopoeia? 🤔 | Onomatopoeia in English | Learn with examples

I'm re-reading the Lilian Jackson Braun book The Cat Who Said Cheese and came across ONOMATOPOEIA. It means the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (e.g. cuckoo, sizzle): "a relatively large number of bird names arise by onomatopoeia."

The use of onomatopoeia for literary effect: "the language in her picture books is notable for its playfulness and onomatopoeia."

I just found the term MYCOLOGICAL EXPERT. Since the subject was mushrooms, I knew where this was going.

Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their taxonomy, genetics, biochemical properties, and use by humans. Mushrooms.

She just used the word COSSETED near the end of the book. It means cared for and protected in an overindulgent way; pampered: "the cosseted daughter of an upper-class New England family." "The cosseted world of the superstar." "For cossetted cats living in the UK, life has never been better."
