I doubt if there is any more exalted form of life than that of a great abstract thinker, wrapt in the successful study of problems to which he devotes himself, for an end which is neither unselfish nor selfish in the common sense of those words, but is simply to feed the deepest hunger and to use the greatest gifts of his soul.

It's olde-fashyned speak for wrapped. See also: slept, dreamt, crept, learnt.

My eyes just conflated 'dreamt' and 'crept', to create 'creampt'. Which is olde-fashyned speak for... something dirty, I think.

Gross!!
BTW, I did a Google search for fashyned and your name was the only thing that came up, John. So, you're famous now? ;-)

Just so long as I'm not the only thing that comes up when you Google 'creampt'.

Dude, they're real. Just archaic. They're in the dictionary, look 'em up. I still use some of these!

I'm pretty sure the First Commandment of Wordie is Thou shalt not harsh another Wordie's buzz.
and if it isn't, it should be.

john commented on the word wrapt
That's a good suggestion for a commandment, if we did commandments. My personal preference is to just make fun of the haters. Dunc, I'm not sure you are one, but c'mon man. Useless is right, but even if they were made up... look around a little. Half of the best words on Wordie are made up. The word Wordie is made up. Get with the program :-)

Yeah! Lots of Wordie words are madeupical!

seanahan commented on the word wrapt
Obviously you don't know enough about Wordie. The first Commandment is "John is the Lord and Creator and there were no other web developers before him".

Well, there's room for ten on the tablet, seanahan. Perhaps we should get a committee on up the mountain?

john commented on the word wrapt
Commandments by committee, excellent! They'll all be, like, "please clean the microwave in the common area after use."
My only title is Village Idiot. Also the name of a bar in New York that I frequently frequented, in my misbegotten youth. The Idiot is no more, sadly.
