stonepicnicking_okapiWednesday's word come from the Inspector Rebus short story anthology I just finished, not a word we use across the pond...
...anglepoise.
a type of desk lamp with a jointed arm and counterbalancing springs that hold it in any position to which it is adjusted. It's a trademark.
"There was no overhead lighting in Sir Walter Scott's study, but there were numerous floor lamps, desk lamps, and anglepoises."
