Word O’ Day

Welcome to WOD

Hollyword

Hi friends,

I believe it’s time for another round. Today’s WOD is sure to wow, and is rapidly becoming one of my favorites: Impecunious.

Impecunious, an adjective derived from a Latin word for wealth, means lacking in money. My perception of this particular word is that it indicates a state of being penniless, whereas a word like destitute would describe the trait of being poor. Thus, you could be impecunious one day and have pockets full of cash the next, but without a major change in your net worth.

A Warn of Wording: “You know, Ronald, an impecunious mooch does not a considerate companion make,” Henrietta teased, reaching thriftily for her wallet.

Well I guess Ronald’s in the dog house tonight.

Rocks,
