Burgeon - a podcast by Word of the Day

Burgeon is a verb that means to grow or flourish rapidly

The Latin word burra (BOO rah) means ‘wool.’ From there it evolved into the French word bourgeonenner (BOOGH ah nay) meaning to ‘put out buds.’ This gave birth to our word of the day, which is often used as the adjective burgeoning.

We thought the controversy would harm the sales of our t-shirt. It turned out to create a burgeoning demand.
