Why “sealore” is a great word
SEALORE — [Noun] A body of knowledge, teaching, and traditional learning concerning the sea. From sea (body of salt water) + lore (a body of knowledge or tradition). Unlike "oceanography," which denotes the formal scientific study of the ocean's properties, or "nautical lore," which emphasizes the practical traditions of sailors, sealore is a broader, more venerable corpus. It is the charted reef and the siren's song, the salinity of a current and the rhyme for predicting a storm, the biologist's monograph and the old fisherman's warning—the deep human compendium of all that is known, and felt, about the vast, instructing dark.
Etymology
