25/001 Greek Word – γόμος: stuffing

A seasonal word! My mother-in-law comes up with some gems that are used less nowadays. She meant the stuffing I made for the Christmas turkey. The more common word today is γέμιση.

It also means the load you would put on a pack animal or a ship’s cargo. My old Crichton dictionary also suggests it’s the ammo musketeers stuffed into their muskets between shots.
