A word for Hermione Granger’s dream job - lexicography.

Añadido: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]If Hermione Granger had a dream job, this might be it. Lexicography. What that is is it's the practice and study of making dictionaries. It's all about defining the words, tracing the meaning and the origins, deciding how language should be recorded and explained. That's why it fits Hermione Granger so well.

[00:00:14]She's the kind of character who would absolutely care about the origin of a word and what words should be recorded and actually put in the dictionary.

[00:00:21]Definitely also call people out if they're using words incorrectly. If you want books that embody this word, I would definitely say The Professor and the Madman, The Dictionary of Lost Words, and Babel. So, I would love to know, what word do you think deserves more attention? Make sure to comment below and I'll see you back here tomorrow for our next word of the day.
