Sere - a podcast by Word of the Day

Sere is an adjective that means ‘dry’ or ‘without moisture.’

Our word of the day comes directly from Old English as a verb that meant ‘to burn something.’ It was a synonym of words like ‘scorch’ or ‘singe.’  Sere is often used to describe a desert or withered vegetation. For example: It’s a shame no one took care of the old garden at Kelly’s house. Everything has become all dried up and sere.
