Etymology:164555; < Latin consternātus, past participle of consternāre to unsettle, throw into confusion, perhaps intensive derivative of consternere to cover, spread (with) ( con- con- + sternere to strew; compare stratum), though sense development uncertain
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.

OMG yeah he did! i guess once he decided not to run, he went hogwild with eating! xsteen and i said that same thing last night when we saw that footage, he has def gained!
on a sad note, my little boy left for SU this AM with his truck packed with food that i sent with him, including dinner sized portions of meatballs and sauce, chicken alfredo and chicken parm for at least a week and a half.
I’ll bet you miss him already. And you KNOW if he has car problems anywhere near Binghamton, I will come to his rescue.
