English’s lexical gaps and a missing word called stupible

🔥 Check out what I found. English seems to have quite a few "lexical gaps" - missing words that feel like they should exist but ... don’t. This often happens because it borrowed some terms from Latin while skipping over their related counterparts.

"stupible" definitely deserves to be borrowed! 😂
