Word of the Week #6

Descry

Source:
I came across this word when I was reading the book "Year of Wonders" by Geraldine Brooks.

Sentence:
It was a chill morning, and a moist fog hung low in the valley, so it was difficult to descry exactly what was in the cart edging its slow way up the hill, with a slight figure behind, bent double, toiling under the load.

Definition:
Descry (verb): To catch sight of, especially of something distant or obscure; to discern

My Sentence:
As the quarterback waited in the pocket, he found his receivers difficult to descry where exactly they were because mud and heavy rain distorted his vision.
