According to Merriam Webster, The Word of the Day for February 10, 2010 is:
effulgence • \ih-FULL-junss\
• noun
- meaning: radiant splendor : brilliance
Did you know?
Apparently, English speakers first took a shine to "effulgence" in the middle of the 17th century; that's when the word was first used in print in our language. "Effulgence" derives from the Latin verb "fulgēre," which means "to shine."The task today: use effulgence to describe yourself sometime today in a conversation. (Which correspondes with #7 of yesterday's post).
Example Sentence:
The effulgence of my smile this morning, was enough to light up the sky. (Corny...but I love it!!)Talk to you soon!
In your face I see the effulgence of the stars, but in my eyes you fail to see the love I have for you. No wonder I'm still single!
Nice post:)
aahah!! I love it! Thanks for sharing!
