Word For The Day, Monday, June 9, 2014 –maleficent
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
maleficent; adj.doing evil or harm; harmfully malicious: maleficent destroyers of reputations.
Etymology:1670–80; back formation from Latin maleficentia maleficence; see -ent
Hailing from the Latin word meaning "the dice" or "chance" alea, aleatory first surfaced in English in the late seventeenth century. •
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
