The words in the Reliquary have been lost to us for a variety of reasons. Some words have simply fallen out of use because they are no longer needed. For example, the word "abrogate" once meant "to repeal" or "to annul." However, this word is no longer used because the word "repeal" has taken on a broader meaning. Other words have become obsolete because they have been replaced by more modern words. For example, the word "disgruntled" once meant "displeased" or "dissatisfied." However, this word is now rarely used because the word "unhappy" has become more common.

Still other words have become obsolete because they have taken on new meanings. For example, the word "nice" once meant "foolish" or "stupid." However, this word now has a positive connotation, meaning "pleasant" or "agreeable."

The Reliquary helps us to rediscover these lost words and to understand their original meanings. This can help us to better appreciate the richness and diversity of the English language.
