Word of the Day

A one-month trial period for a word of the day on this site. Words selected will be based on Greek or Latin words, people, or concepts. The point of the selections will be the Greek or Latin roots rather than the etymology of each word. In other words, some of these words may have passed into English more directly from French or Spanish rather than Latin or Greek, but that information will not be included. Where appropriate, related words or historical/mythological articles will be included. Also, see accompanying "this day in history."
