It may interest you to know that "gnomon" is not recognized as a word by the NYT Spelling Bee game. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??? Today's letters should have snagged me an additional word, but no.....
Interestingly and good news, I used "Look Up" on Safari browser and a opoup window provided a nice definition of the term "gnomon" & included derivatives and word origin. Good on them!
ps: my new Seattle walking theme is Peaks and Ridgelines. up, up, up till i find an intersection where all directions go down. winter in the perfect season for this theme, no sweat! I think I’ll crown West Seattle as the lumpiest part of Seattle. I did three peaks there yesterday and saw so many others to explore on a return visit. West Seattle also sports the highest point in Seattle I discovered. One would have guessed Queen Anne, but no. Magnoila has two peaks (so far), 28th and Dravus and 38th and Dravus. And of course, just out my window is 2nd and Virginia. 17th and Olive gets an honorable mention. This is going to keep me busy for a while.

Sad to read this. Wow, what's happening to this world when we loose such a timely word.
