Word of the Day: Psithurism

Posted on December 6, 2022 by Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud

I love words and this is a good one.

Psithurism: a rustling or whispering sound, such as leaves in the wind; susurration [ sith-yuh-riz-uhm ]

Example: Standing in the glade I heard a quiet psithurism, just straddling the line between music and noise.
