13th June Standard CONCUSSED puzzle
« on: June 16, 2021, 02:16:02 PM »
SECUNDO (Noun) - The secondary part of a duet. This was reported as 'not known' – rare, perhaps?
The greenest watt ever produced is the one you never use. Playing as jk1956 & John is my name.
When we come out of the Covid-19 crisis, we need to make sure recovery efforts address the Climate Crisis (which can't be solved using social distancing!)

We already allow secondo, "The second or lower part in a duet" (online Oxford). Secondo is known to most dictionaries, whereas I couldn't find secundo in any, other than Wiktionary. Secondo is from the Italian, the source of most musical terms. Secundo is Latin.

Is secundo really a word in English? It's true you can find web sites where people use it for the second part in a duet, but maybe they're just poor spellers. Sorry, ridethetalk, but I'm not convinced.

Can't blame a bloke for trying...  ;D

There did appear to be many references to it though using google...

Bad luck John, no win this time but at least you can say that you came second.
