I thought I'd start a thread for words. Whether weird, wonderful or whatever, if you like how a word looks, sounds or seems, feel free to share it. Who knows, we might end up building something worthwhile!?
I was trying to think of a word that meant something similar to solidarity but I wanted a word which began with 'c' to make an alliteration and although some words were close - such as commonality, comradeship and community - none were quite what I was after.
I then stumbled across esprit de corps and although the direct alliteration takes a hit, the poetic phrasing not to mention its meaning hits the nail right on the head - the money shot if you will.
So that's my starter for ten: esprit de corps
