#WordOfTheDay – You can guess what mayhap means

word-of-the-day-new

Are you as excited as we are for today’s #WordOfTheDay series?

Today’s word is ‘mayhap’. They say the word is archaic already but there’s nothing wrong in knowing what it means right?

Can you guess what it means by just looking at the individual words that make it up?

The word means perhaps or possibly. If you want to remember the meaning just by looking at the word then you can think of it as a short form for ‘may happen’.

Pretty easy right?

Now let’s consider this word in a few sentences.

Question : Do you care for a cup of tea?

Answer : Mayhaps a bit late

Please listen to him mayhap he can change your mind.

We hope you liked this post as much as we did.

  1. Mayhap. Interesting… quite a mouthful of a sentence. But, as you say no harm in knowing . Could be useful in a game of scrabble?
