Petrichor isn’t dead. It’s the word to describe the smell after it rains. It might not be on the top of everyone’s tongues but it does pop up regularly where there is rain and someone asks, “How do I describe the smell after it rains?”
The other words on this list are revivable.
I mean, ask any Whovian and they’ll tell you what petrichor means lol
