  • Hi,John,

    my previous comment was for an answer to Juanita's quest for a definition of peristrophist (from the book: Wicked.) I was on the same quest when I stumbled across Juanita's question (indicated as 4 months ago)on Wordnik. I was hoping you, or someone at Wordnik would pass the info on to her, or that she might return looking for responses. It's not clear how I could pass the definition on to her.

  • peristrophe: (n) An instance of turning round, a revolution; a person who turns to an opposing viewpoint (also peristrophist).

    found this definition at http://gwynraen.livejournal.com/2008/06/13) So far, I've not found it in OneLook dictionary search.

  • Hi benn, welcome to Wordnik!

    Great word--you might want to consider adding your definition to the comments page of the word itself (which looks like it has one example that accords with your definition below).
