The word of the day on dictionary.com is [neoteric](https://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=neoteric&ref=lorcandempsey.net). The illustrative quote is:

> Electronic books, they say, are asking them to make a mental transition — to veer from their ingrained appreciation for the printed books that fill our nation’s more than 120,000 public, academic and special interest libraries — to depend on a **neoteric** gizmo that disrupts the sacred union between man and book.   
> –Charlotte Moore, “Bedtime for binderies?” [Austin American Statesman](https://www.austin360.com/aas/?ref=lorcandempsey.net), July 28, 2000 \[[Dictionary.com/Word of the Day](https://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]

They seem to be running out of inspiration as *neoteric* was also [word of the day on September 27, 2001](https://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archive/2001/09/27.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net).
