This Atomic Word Is 1,200 Years Old

To understand the Atomic Word of the Week, we must go back in time.

To London, 800 AD.

The population was only about 10,000 people.

Then the Vikings came to visit.

And the population dropped to about 5,000.

Ah, the good ol’ days.

Also at this time, there was a word that everyone in Lundewic (the old name for London) knew and used.

It was “Dragan”

No, not the fire-breathing lizard, “dragon.”

But close.

1,200 years later, the word has changed, evolved.

No one says the old word.

But we say the new version all the time.

Care to guess what the modern word is?

Cheers,
Mr. Vig
