Welter - a podcast by Word of the Day

Welter is a noun that refers to a jumble or a confused mess.

Coming from Middle English, our word of the day can be used a couple of ways. In addition to its main definition of a large supply of objects, it may also refer to a general state of disorder. Here’s an example of the later:

Once the donuts were gone, the meeting had become a welter. I’d never before seen things get that ugly, but I suppose this is what happens when people get hungry.
