I'm reading a famous old essay on naval tactics today (from the Age of Sail) and I came across a word I'd never seen. Not that unusual I suppose it's the essay is over 200 years old, but I found that it may still be found in a dictionary:
an·i·mad·vert (ane-mad-vûrt)
intr.v. an·i·mad·vert·ed, an·i·mad·vert·ing, an·i·mad·verts
To remark or comment critically, usually with strong disapproval or censure
How cool is that?
