Words Of The Day

[jazzy_dave]

Today's wonderful words come from the title of a recent book I read -


paralipomena

NOUN
formal
things omitted from a work and added as a supplement.
archaic
(Paralipomenon)
(in the Vulgate Bible and some other versions) the name of the books of Chronicles, regarded as supplementary to the books of Kings.

The other supplementary word is -

parerga (plural noun)
formal
a piece of work that is supplementary to or a by-product of a larger work.
"the second sonata is a parergon to the opera"
