maunder MON-dur, intransitive verb:
1. To talk incoherently; to speak in a rambling manner.
2. To wander aimlessly or confusedly.
Maunder is possibly a dialectal variant of meander (possibly influenced by wander).
sub rosa sub RO-zuh adverb
Secretly, privately, or confidentially.
[From Latin sub (under) rosa (rose). From the ancient practice of using a rose as a symbol of secrecy.]
I’ve made a number of sub rosa posts in my journal to use as reminders.
