Context for New Word

While reading Montuori and Donnelly (2016) I came across interregnum as a new word.

The definition for this word taken from the Terminology app, which is based on the Princeton University’s WordNet lexical database. If you are interested in how I created this resource and how I add new words to it, you can see my blog post Title of Blog Post.
