15 Forgotten English Words That Are Very Relevant Today.

 Language evolves and changes whether we like it or not; old languages change and fuse into new ones. There are long forgotten English words that need to be brought back to use because they still embody reasonable meanings. 

Word death is a natural part of the evolution of any language. In the same way that language acquires new words and even structures through time, it also loses words and structures along the way. Sometimes, very useful words cease to exist for not-so-obvious reasons. 

For example, the word “thee” had a very specific and elegant meaning, which is the singular object of a verb. Now this word has come to be replaced by the more general and confusing “you”. But why is it the case? Why do some words just mysteriously disappear? There are a number of reasons why words fall out of use throughout the history of a language.

One reason why words become obsolete is that the thing they refer to no longer exists. Also when a new generation learns a language, it does not remain the same. They ever slightly change so many things within that language. They construct a slightly different version of that language.
