Word of the Day for Wednesday, September 23, 2009eldritch \EL-drich\, adjective: Strange; unearthly; weird; eerie. In the eldritch light of evening in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, the eye plays tricks on the brain. The immitigable mountains and their stark, eldritch trees; coasts where earth abruptly snapped off, never to be continued, or beaches which gnawed it to bright dust and sucked it gently away. . . . Eldritch perhaps derives from a Middle English word meaning "fairyland," from Middle English elf, "elf" (from Old English aelf) + riche, "kingdom" (from Old English rice). | |||||||||
