Have you ever found yourself searching for the right word in a conversation and have somehow fallen completely short of an apt description?

Have you ever been in a situation where you see someone struggling with bed clothing, moments from death, and wonder if there's a word that would complete the thought?

Well, wonder no more!

Today's word is carphology. Say it with me - car-fall-o-gee "Delirious fumbling with bed clothes prior to death." Try to use this word in sentences throughout the day to solidify the concept. Carphology.
