Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day. Posted daily @ 9AM EST
GM β˜€οΈ Your word of the day is! πŸ”€ Bespoke [bih-SPOHK] πŸ“– What It Means: Bespoke describes something that is custom-madeβ€”that is, made to fit the needs or requirements of a particular person. πŸ“° Example: As a tailor, Lana specialized in crafting bespoke clothing for her clients, each piece unique and suited to their tastes. πŸ’¬ In Context: β€œThe vehicles are bespoke machines with every little detail thought of, from embroidered seats to custom floor mats to retro paint jobs.” β€” Charlie Berrey, SlashGear.com, 10 Nov. 2025 πŸ’‘ Did You Know? In the English language of yore, the verb bespeak had various meanings, including β€œto speak,” β€œto accuse,” and β€œto complain.” In the 16th century, bespeak acquired another meaning: β€œto order.” It is from that sense that we get the adjective bespoke, referring to clothes and other things that are ordered before they are made. Bespoke has enjoyed a spike in usage in recent years, perhaps due to consumer trends that champion all things artisanal over those that are prefab. πŸ”— #WordOfTheDay #Nostr #Dictionary #Learning
