GAD Mystery Word of the Day


My new bookish meme for 2026: the Golden Age of Detection (GAD) Mystery Word of the Day. Whenever I find a word that I'm unfamiliar with, I'm going to actually take time to look it up and share it with mystery-lovers everywhere. 😊

Today's GAD Mystery Word of the Day is Conglobulation (noun): 1 act or action of forming into a round mass 2. a rounded mass

If tradition and architecture were lacking, there was no lack at all of that fine rosy sense of a corporate entity which is found in every conglobulation of learned men. (still working on Don Among the Dead Men by C. E. Vulliamy)

I had a sense of the word, but I found the description of learned men to be interesting once I looked up the definition.
