Word (and what to do with it) of the day: “Wended”
Wended (verb): "To direct oneself, to proceed, to go"
Source: Jonathan Lethem's novel You Don't Love Me Yet, which I just finished, used this word an awful lot. I felt like an imbecile not knowing what it meant.
Your challenge and mine: Use this word in casual conversation with someone other than your lover or spouse and see if they know what you mean.

I’ve never heard the word out of the phrase “Wending its/your/his/etc. way”. Is wend ever used without way?
Also, I think “wend” is the word – “wended” is just the past tense of “wend”.
