Wiktionary:Word of the day/January 26

From 2020, Word of the Day pages are in the format "Wiktionary:Word of the day/[year]/[month] [day]". This page, without a year in the title, is now used as a fallback if no Word of the Day has been set for this year, and generally should not need to be edited. However, if you wish to propose an amendment, please leave a message at Wiktionary:Beer parlour.
