It's BACK!

Here is an installment of Wordy Wednesday! Have you missed it? I've missed writing it, so here you are with a dose of vocab words!


I love the word etymology. It's a gorgeous word that is fun to say. The meaning is one I hold very dear.


et·y·mol·o·gy  
noun

  1. the derivation of a word
  2. a chronological account of the birth and development of aparticular word or element of a word, often delineating itsspread from one language to another and its evolvingchanges in form and meaning.
  3. the study of historical linguistic change, especially asmanifested in individual words.
A word I hate is deform. It's such a nasty word. You hear it and cringe, any word that brings about that kind of reaction is not a good word.

de·form  
verb
  1. to mar the natural form or shape of; put out of shape; disfigure
  2. to make ugly, ungraceful, or displeasing; mar the beautyof; spoil
