Manage episode 414534173 series 2492929
Raft is a noun that refers to a large number.
Our word of the day has been around since the mid-19th century. It’s thought to be derived from the Scandinavian word for ‘abundance.’ Here’s an example of it in use:
Coming home after a rough day at work, I was delighted to see a raft of candy bars on the dining room table. But I was disappointed to learn that this cornucopia of sweetness wasn’t for me.
