This week’s word is 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 (adjective).

mac·​a·​ron·​icˌma-kə-ˈrä-nik

1: Characterized by a mixture of vernacular words with Latin words or with non-Latin words having Latin endings

2. Characterized by a mixture of two languages

Example sentence: “The play was a macaronic mix of English and Latin that confused some audience members.”

While this word sounds like it might be delicious covered in cheese, it is actually just a fun way of saying two different languages are being combined!
