Greetings, history hunter!

An oubliette is a hidden dungeon reached only through a trapdoor — a place where jailers once locked people away to be forgotten. In fact, the word comes from the French word for "forgetting," a grim clue to a prisoner's prospects. Keep the word handy next time you take a castle tour in Europe.
