Word of the Day

I was watching Walking Dead season 2 and one of the characters used a word that I hadn't heard before. Anyone recently run across odd words that aren't normally used?

ca·thar·sis
kəˈTHärsis/
noun
noun: catharsis; plural noun: catharses

1.
the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions.
