This episode covers rare words for conversations about Time, exploring their origins and recognisable words from the same root. Words featured include desultory, ephemeral, dilatory, tarry, exigent and evitable.
Listen for the history of how time, once determined locally, became standardised across Britain with the emergence of the railway.
