The article uses the word "Louchest" to describe the times. I had to look it up:
> Disreputable or sordid in a rakish or appealing way
- geforce 9y agoThis definition seems a bit strong for the word. If it's meant as borrowed from the french "louche", then would rather define as: > discutable, weird, questionable, shady
- Animats 9y ago"Louche" is a known word. "Louchest" is something that author made up.
- zimpenfish 9y agoIt fits with existing conventions for word extensions and it's perfectly understandable. What's the problem? This is how words join the existing language.
- saghm 9y agoI didn't read GP's comment as saying there was a problem; it's not in conflict for the word to "fit existing convention and be understandable" if it's made up.
