Word of the Day

As a challenge from my College Composition professor gave me once, I am going to use one new word a day for myself somewhere, whether in writing or aloud in a conversation. So I'm taking the challenge and writing it here as I go to document the new words. This might also be fun for you guys to learn a new word if you'd like to follow along.
