There Must Be Words 
Help! What does ‘prometacenter’ mean?? I can’t find a site that gives a definition, and it’s such a marvellous word. 😕 🙂

Hmmmm . . . what I’m finding is a meaning for ‘metacenter’ : “in fluid mechanics, the theoretical point at which an imaginary vertical line passing through the centre of buoyancy and centre of gravity intersects the imaginary vertical line through a new centre of buoyancy created when the body is displaced, or tipped, in the water, however little.” The prefix pro- can have a variety of different meanings, but in context I’d guess the meaning would be “toward” – so, “toward metacenter”, and that big definition to round it out 😀 Hope that helps – and thanks for asking ^_^

That’s as far as I got too. Where did you encounter the word, with the pro prefix?? 😕

After working to determine how best to source a list to draw from, I was fortunate enough to find this: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3203
This public domain work was the starting point of the sorted lists I created that become the basis of the daily words I post. So if you ever decide you need more words faster, please feel free to raid it as you see fit 😀 I hope this has been helpful 🙂
