Word For The Day

Today I'm starting a new blog section, word for the day. It's just an entry containing a word, a definition and how it should be used for that particular day or days thereafter. Most of these definitions will be taken from here [Merriam-Webster Online].

And so to get started, here is the first Word For Today:
