Quoting pagliaccio:

galvanneal - to coat steel surface with zinc-iron alloy (çelik yüzeyini demir-çinko alaşımıyla kaplama) lol



English word is "galvanise"



Ah, wait! You mean "galvanneal" isn't an english word?
Actually when I learned its meaning, I exactly remember "galvanise" as well. But then thought they might be synonymous.



Not one that I have heard of but then I am not in the steel industry - I will check for you later.

It is not an English term but an American term meaning "to galvanise something" It has been galvanealed! In England we just say "galvanised"

Quoting MerciKaya:

My word today:

Sevdah – ecstasy, desire or love, derives from the Arabic word sawdah.

It was used at one point by doctors to describe black gall, a substance purported to control human feelings and emotions



It is without "h": sevda
