Word of the Day: Eleemosynary

August 27, 2009

Eleemosynary is an adective meaning “relating to charity.” I’m leaving the pronunciation in on this one:
• \el-ih-MAH-suh-nair-ee\ •

The word comes from the same root as “alms.” Memorize the spelling of this one, then forget it. Who would ever know what the heck you were talking about? The best use I can think of for this word is a crossword puzzle!
