Word For The Day, Tuesday 9/24/02
The Verbivores | 9/24/02 | Mistress Bella and Miss Rika

Posted on 09/24/2002 12:09:53 AM PDT by Bella_Bru

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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


animadversion \an-uh-mad-VUR-zhun\, noun:

1. Harsh criticism or disapproval.
2. Remarks by way of criticism and usually of censure; adverse criticism; reproof; blame.

Etymology: Animadversion is from Latin animadversio, animadversion-, from animadversus, past participle of animadverto, animadvertere, to turn the mind toward, from animus, mind, spirit + adverto, advertere, to turn toward, from ad, toward + verto, vertere, to turn.

A very early good morning, class. Welcome to School!
