Since I so enjoy the daily memes where you visit other blogs and make more bloggy friends, I am adding Wondrous Words Wednesday hosted by Bermudaonion's Weblog. This will be my 1st posting. If you want to join in the fun, head over to: http://bermudaonion.wordpress.com/
My word came from Invisible Boy by Cornelia Read
"My guilt is assuaged then."
Definition:
as·suage (-swj)
tr.v. as·suaged, as·suag·ing, as·suag·es
1. To make (something burdensome or painful) less intense or severe: assuage her grief. See Synonyms at relieve.
2. To satisfy or appease (hunger or thirst, for example).
3. To pacify or calm: assuage their chronic insecurity.
What a great word! I'd have to really think to try to use it, though, because I don't think it will roll off of my tongue. Thanks so much for participating!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting!! Being a new blogger, and loving every minute of it, especially meeting new book bloggers as I have found them to be the nicest people. Again Thank You.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Wondrous Words Wednesday! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd "assuage" is a neat word.
I see you are going to read Malice. I read that not too long ago and really enjoyed it. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI like assuaged. Glad you joined the hunt for new words. Also, welcome to the fun adventure of blogging. Beware - it can become addictive.
ReplyDeleteI like this word too. It is one that I might possibly even use in a conversation.
ReplyDeleteI was never one for words. My dad always said to me that I ruin the king's english. LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping by !!!
ReplyDeleteJ.Kaye..I purchased Malice after reading your review..hoping I get a little breather with review requests to read.
Dolly..LOL After emailing each other...I can only imagine what your dad meant LOL
I like Brennan and Jackson too! Love your header or banner. Did u design it? Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment Joy...so kind of you...I can't remember where I found the picture and had saved as I thought it was so pretty. My original page was a free template but when I decided to take my blog to the next level, I had Casey at Hot Bliggity Blog use it to design my new page. She did a wonderful job setting everything up and helping me set up my new navigation tabs. So she deserves the credit and I was lucky I had saved the picture.
