Handsel
Manage episode 417969278 series 2492929
Handsel is a noun that refers to a gift for good luck.
Our word of the day dates back to the Middle English period and is occasionally used as a verb just like its synonym ‘gift.’ Here’s an example:
When my parents gave me a car as a handsel on my 18th birthday, they didn’t know they were changing my life. That new Toyota may not have given me good luck, but it certainly brought good times.
