Alas, snow days and an avalanche of homework tend to fall on the same day, but I'm surrendering the scholarly quill for the moment to share my favorite word. I stumbled upon it in my textbook, A Biography of the English Language by C.M. Millward:
ælfscīene
It's means elf-bright or beautiful. I'm fairly certain this word is one of the primary reasons I am an English major!
