Each day, I approach this word of the day with gratitude, another opportunity to use the English language and to share its bounty with others.

[It surprised me to see that this word was available on the US day of Thanksgiving. The word of the day is broadly shared worldwide, of course. I admit to often having a narrow focus.]
