It seems that there is little love for the word inchoate, at least among the Daily Posters I briefly perused.
This might be the first time I am using it myself, but certainly it is not new to me.
My knowledge of how best to employ “inchoate” is certainly inchoate in the dictionary sense. A beginner’s knowledge.
But inchoate as the Daily Prompt can lead us beyond a dictionary excercise.
Commonly used to refer to negative emotions on the brink of emergence, inchoate anger is in my repetoir. Inchoate longing is a more frequent guest in my heart. Inchoate fear a permanent resident.
