so weird how in english some words are really just used in expressions and not otherwiseβ¦ like has anyone said βhavocβ when not using it in the phrase βwreaking havocβ? same goes for βwreakingβ actuallyβ¦
reply with more, iβm fascinated
these are called fossil words! here's a whole list
Also interested in words that originally had opposites but donβt anymore; i.e. how we say ruthless but not ruth.
