Ghost words that run loose in the dictionary (and should be exhumed)

The article discusses words that have been omitted from modern dictionaries but could be reintroduced due to their relevance or historical significance. It suggests that certain terms, which might be considered outdated or politically sensitive, deserve reconsideration in contemporary linguistic contexts.

Bias read (Center): The article does not present a clear ideological slant. It focuses on linguistic considerations rather than taking a stance on political issues. The discussion around word inclusion or exclusion is framed neutrally, without apparent bias toward any political ideology.
