Petrichor isn’t dead. It’s the word to describe the smell after it rains. It might not be on the top of everyone’s tongues but it does pop up regularly where there is rain and someone asks, “How do I describe the smell after it rains?”
The other words on this list are revivable.
So does petrichor stem from the prefix petri- and the word ichor? So like, blood of the rocks?
Looks like it! I had no idea it was coined so recently.
I mean, ask any Whovian and they’ll tell you what petrichor means lol
