The 'Word of the Week' is:
"predilection"
Okay. So I actually wrote this word on a Monday... but no-one's actually visiting my site, so it really doesn't matter.
I could write anything I wanted here, and I doubt anyone would read it. That makes me feel sad. 8-(
But just in case anyone does actually bother to read this section, here's the definition for this week's word.
predilection / n. (often foll. by
for)
a preference or special liking.
[French prédilection, ultimately from Latin praediligere praedilect-
‘prefer’ (as prae-, diligere ‘select’: see diligent)]
This word seems to be most commonly found in the phrase 'whatever your predilections... '.
For example, I could say, 'Whatever your predilections, you must accept that this website is mostly purple.'
I rarely see anybody express a predilection for anything. For example, I could point out that I have a great predilection for the colour purple. (As if you hadn't noticed... )
Ah well.That's the end of this week's witterings. If anyone reads this, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
