Word of the Day for Thursday April 17, 2003
I thought TA's would get some enjoyment out of todays word of the day:
canorous \kuh-NOR-us; KAN-or-uhs\, adjective:
Richly melodious; pleasant sounding; musical.
I felt a deep contentment listening to the meadowlark's
complex melody as he sat on his bragging post calling for a
mate, and the soft canorous whistle of the bobwhite as he
whistled his name with intermittent lulls.
--Donna R. La Plante, "Remember When: The prairie after a
spring rain," [1]Kansas City Star, March 16, 2003
Canorous comes from the Latin canor, "melody," from canere,
"to sing." It is related to chant, from French chanter, "to
sing," ultimately from Latin canere.
