A gorgeous word

Feilamort: the colour of a dead leaf.

I got this beautiful word while reading about Anne Donovan's 'The wonders of Scots Thesaurus brought me closer to my characters.'

She uses the Scots Thesaurus 'occasionally as a reference, but mainly for the pure pleasure of the sounds of the words,' she says.
