Word of the day: “dree” - to endure, bear with fortitude that which is wearisome, to last out (Scots). A “dree” is both a hard task and also a long, drawn-out melody. “To dree one’s weird” is - unforgettably - to endure one’s fate, suffer the consequences of one’s actions. (via @RobGMacfarlane) [This is possibly the most Scottish word I have come across.]
