There are thousands of new words in the English language each year and over 1m historically and the average person knows about 20k.
Don’t feel bad for not knowing a word borrowed from another language.

Yes, I knew the term; however, although "sobriquet" is not a term that I use in everyday conversation, I wrote a paper in college about Queen Elizabeth I, "The Virgin Queen."

TakeaChance1007, What a coincidence.. My wife just asked me the meaning of this word this evening. I learn it in France. I didn't even know that it was used in English.
