The Word of the Day for November 25, 2009 is:
temerarious• \tem-uh-RAIR-ee-us\ • adjective: marked by temerity : rashly or presumptuously daring
Did you know?
If you have guessed that "temerarious" may be related to the somewhat more common word "1," you are correct. "Temerarious" was 2 English in the early 16th century from Latin "temerarius," which in turn derives from Latin "temere," meaning "blindly" or" recklessly." "Temerity," which arrived in English over a century earlier, also derives from "temere"; another 3 is the rare word "intemerate" (meaning "pure" or "undefiled"). "Temere" itself is akin to Old High German "demar," Latin "tenebrae," and Sanskrit "tamas," all of which have associations with darkness.
