phosphoresce \fos-fuh-RES, verb:
to be luminous without sensible heat, as phosphorus.

— Megan Abbott, Dare Me, 2012
From the boulevard they turned towards the pavilion, and for a long time gazed at the phosphorescent sea. Von Koren began to explain what made it phosphoresce.

Phosphoresce came to English in the late-1700s from the Greek Phosphoros meaning “morning star,” or literally “torchbearer.”

mishpocha \mish-PAW-khuh, -POOKH-uh, noun:
an entire family network comprising relatives by blood and marriage and sometimes including close friends; clan.
Levinsky told him he didn’t need a lawyer. “Dealing with us is like mishpocha. Who needs a lawyer to talk tomishpocha.” Simon learned later they had cheated him, but who cares, who would have cared?
— Arthur A. Cohen, In the Days of Simon Stern, 1973
“You can speak now. We’re all mishpocha here and we got no secrets.”
— Leon Uris, Exodus, 1958
Mishpocha entered English in the mid-1800s and comes from the Yiddish and Hebrew words for “family” or “clan.”
