I’ve been a subscriber to “The New Criterion” for some 20 years now. Almost without exception each monthly edition has at least one word that forces me to consult a dictionary - and more frequently now, my phone. This month’s word was used to describe a writer’s work as “ensorcelling.”

I suppose if I really sat and thought about it I might have more or less figured it out. “Bewitching or enchanting.”

“Ensorceler” in French. Just missed it.

There might be just an age limit for learning new SAT words.
