Funny you should mention hydrologic--I,too, ran across this one when weather checking recently!!
Interesting words, those!

I didn't know any of them, but I guessed that the 3rd one had something to do with water! What great words! Thanks for participating!
I like that you found words from lots of sources this week. They are everywhere - aren't they.
These are some great words this week. Hydrologic is a good one to know with all the rain that is coming!
I knew eisegetic, but only because I've just been reading Francis Chan's Forgotten God--in which Chan discusses the difference between eisegesis and exegesis.
