Today's previously unknown word is:
factotum n a person employed to do all kinds of work [Latin fac! do! + totum all]
Sounds kind of like a 'jack of all trades'.
I will not see you tomorrow as Sundays are our days off in the A To Z Challenge - so I will see you Monday instead.

I'm enjoying learning new words along with you! Enjoy your day off & good luck with the rest of A-Z :)
factotum: jack of all trades, I didn't know this one.
Thanks for your posts!
Fellow A to Z blogger
Not a word used much in North America, more often heard in the UK. Well in my day that is.
JO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE
It's one of those words that I've heard a bit but didn't really know what it meant. So it's kind of like an odd job man.
Enjoy the "day of rest"!
Great word, I have heard it before but never its meaning.
