Wednesday word of the week – Parargon

Parergon is work that’s subsidiary to your main employment, or an ornamental accessory. Parerega is the plural in either case.

As a parergon to writing, I act as a photographic assistant (and I like to think I’m Gary’s parergon, although I’m usually more windswept than ornamental).
