Word of the day October 29
 

The Word of the Day for October 29 is:

impugn • \im-PYOON\ • (verb) to assail by words or arguments; oppose or attack as false or lacking integrity

A little more information about today’s word:
When you impugn, you hazard repugnant pugnacity. More simply put, you risk insulting someone to the point where he or she wants to sock you. The belligerent implications of "impugn" are to be expected in a word that derives from the Latin verb "pugnare," which means "to fight." In its earliest known English uses in the 1300s, "impugn" could refer to a physical attack (as in "the troops impugned the city") as well as to figurative assaults involving verbal contradiction or dispute. Over time, though, the sense of physical battling has become obsolete and the "calling into question" sense has predominated. As you might expect, the ancestors of "impugn" also gave English other fighting words, including "repugnant" and "pugnacious."

My sentence:

Word of the day October 30
 

The Word of the Day for October 30 is:

fatuous • \FATCH-oo-us\ • (adjective) complacently or inanely foolish; silly

A little more information about today’s word:
"I am two fools, I know, / For loving, and for saying so / In whining Poetry," wrote John Donne, simultaneously confessing to both infatuation and fatuousness. As any love-struck fool can attest, infatuation can make fools of the best of us. So it should come as no surprise that the words "fatuous" and "infatuation" derive from the same Latin root, "fatuus," which means "foolish." Both terms have been part of English since the 17th century. "Infatuation" followed the earlier verb "infatuate," a "fatuus" descendant that once meant "to make foolish," but that now usually means "to inspire with a foolish love or admiration." "Fatuous" came directly from "fatuus." It's been used in English to describe the foolish and inane since at least 1633.

My sentence:

Word of the day October 31
 

The Word of the Day for October 31 is:

Frankenfood • \FRANK-en-food\ • (noun) genetically engineered food

A little more information about today’s word:
The word "Frankenfood" combines "Franken-" (an allusion to "Frankenstein") and "food." It was coined in 1992 by Paul Lewis, an English professor, who used the word in a letter he wrote to the New York Times in response to the decision of the US Food and Drug Administration to let companies market genetically altered food. Like the monster in Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, Frankenfood has met with hostility from people who would like to see the end of it. Not everyone feels this way (genetically engineered food has its supporters too), but the word "Frankenfood" has a derogatory slant to it and tends to be used by people who view such foods as dangerous mutations.

My sentence:
Proponents of biotechnology insist that genetically altered food products are perfectly safe, but many consumers remain wary of Frankenfoods.

Based on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, 11th Edition.

Next sentence?
