*Rules* 1. Only post one word per day. 2. Post a definition written by you, not pulled from a reference text. 3. Use the word in a sentence, also written by you. Apotheosis - The process of becoming a god. It also means "ideal example", synonymous with "paradigm" and "quintessence". Billie Holiday was the apotheosis of blues-jazz. |

| That's a wonderful word, but you spelled it wrong. It's defenestrate. From the Latin fenestra, meaning window. | |||

| Antidisestablishmentarianism
noun : to be against the idea of having a national religion/church "Isn't antidisestablishmentarianism the longest word in the dictionary?" Actually, floccinaucinihilipilification is the longest non-technical word (with 29 letters), but it was made up as a joke so that it simply COULD be the longest word. Antidisestablishmentarianism is #2 with 28 letters. |
