Just for the hell of it, I think it might be fun to hijack some of the old Today's Words.
For instance, on April 18, 1994 the word was "cachet". Such books as "A Tale of Two Cities" frequently mention "lettres de cachet", which meant the person named could be immediately imprisoned.

Zoetrope

The Zoetrope (pronounced ZOH-uh-trohp), invented in 1834 by William
George Horner, was an early form of motion picture projector that
consisted of a drum containing a set of still images, that was turned in
a circular fashion in order to create the illusion of motion. Horner
originally called it the Daedatelum, but Pierre Desvignes, a French
inventor, renamed his version of it the Zoetrope (from Greek word root
zoo for animal life and trope for "things that turn.")
