Word For The Day, Day, Date
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".
concupiscence
strong desire; especially : sexual desire - con·cu·pis·cent /-s&nt/ adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Late Latin concupiscentia, from Latin concupiscent-, concupiscens, present participle of concupiscere to desire ardently, from com- + cupere to desire
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Very hard to trust the concupiscent toe-sucker. But conservatives tend to like and believe him, when he says things that they like to hear.
Make no mistake, Hillary's presidential desires border on concupiscence.

DREAM BOOGIE By Peter Guralnick (book review)
Nov 9, 2005
"For all his talent, Sam Cooke led a confusing and, at times, schizophrenic career.
"Guralnick is the first writer to portray the full range of Cooke's concupiscence, cataloguing his escapades but never wallowing in them."
