Word For The Day, Tuesday June 16, 2015
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
deontology [dee-on-tol-uh-jee]
-n
ethics, especially that branch dealing with duty, moral obligation, and right action.
[1820-30; < Greek deont- that which is binding (stem of déon, neuter present participle of deîn to bind), equivalent to de- bind + -ont- present participle suffix + -o- + -logy]
Oh, don’t even start with the Cardinals. The Buccos have been on a tear lately and can’t make up any ground on the Cards. We’ve only lost like 2 games out of the past 12 and made up nothing.

And that the rain is done.
She would make a great instructor of deontology:
