Say what?
That's exactly what I said when I first espied the word "pertainyms" while wandering around the web.
What the heck is a pertainym?
I mean, it's a cool word and I can sort of figure it out but I can't be certain on my own.
So I had the crack research team drop everything to investigate — I get like that sometimes when a new word drops in.
Anyhow, it turns out that the website I stumbled across was the WordNet 1.7 Vocabulary Helper.
Plenty more there where pertainym — which, by the way, means "meaning related to or pertaining to" — comes from.
Like "hypernym" — there's one to conjure with.
