I found these words in the story that I read today, it is from the book, 50 Creepy And Blood Curdling Tales. The chapter was the 12th one.
The word “binnacle”, although, sounding like spectacle, is actually not related to spectacle at all, but, is the word used to describe a structure used to hold and protect the magnetic compass at the helm of the ship.
Next, the word, “nodule”, found in the context of fungus, or some similar growth, was truly related to something similar, it is an unwanted growth on the skin.
And, the word, “broadside”, contrary to what I would try to guess, means, a kind of one sided printed banner. It also has some meaning in the context of ships.
