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....

probity\'prO-b&-tE \, n:
1.adherence to the highest principles and ideals
2.Complete and confirmed integrity
“He was a gentlemanly Georgian, a person of early American probity” (Mary McGrory).

Etymology:Middle English probite, from Old French, from Latin probitas, from probus, upright, good. See per1 in Indo-European Roots.

Usage:Usage: Probity denotes unimpeachable honesty and virtue, shown especially by the performance of those obligations, called imperfect, which the laws of the state do not reach, and can not enforce. Integrity denotes a whole-hearted honesty, and especially that which excludes all injustice that might favor one's self. It has a peculiar reference to uprightness in mutual dealings, transfer of property, and the execution of trusts for others.

Good Morning, class. Today ,you may use probity or it's opposite, improbity.
