artless • \ART-luss\ • (adjective) 1. lacking art, knowledge, or skill; uncultured; 2a. made without skill; crude; 2b. free from artificiality; natural; 3. free from guile or craft; sincerely simple A little more information about today’s word: "Artless," "ingenuous," "unsophisticated," "natural," and "naive" all refer to freedom from pretension or calculation, but there are subtle differences in their use. "Ingenuous" implies an inability to disguise or conceal one’s feelings, while "unsophisticated" suggests a lack of experience and training necessary for social ease and adroitness. "Naive" suggests a credulous lack of worldly wisdom, and "natural" implies spontaneity and a lack of artificiality or cultivation. "Artless" generally indicates an utter naturalness, one in which a person is innocent of the effect of his or her speech or behavior on others.

Word of the day May 30
The Word of the Day for May 30 is:
fructuous • \FRUK-chuh-wus\ • (adjective) fruitful A little more information about today’s word: Most people enjoy a good piece of fruit, and it seems that this was also true in ages past. In fact, the connection of fruit with "enjoyment" was so strong in ancient Rome that Latin used the same word, "fructus," to mean both "fruit" and "enjoyment" or "use." A rich crop of English derivatives grew from that root, including "fructuous," "fructose" (a sugar found in fruits), "fruition" ("the state of bearing fruit"), "usufruct" (the right to use or enjoy something), and even "fruit" itself. "Fructuous" comes from the Middle French adjective "fructueux" and the Latin adjective "fructuosus," both ultimately derived from "fructus." My sentence: Rich, fructuous lands in the Magelang region of Java provide rice, tobacco, sugar, and a wealth of other crops for export and domestic use. Based on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, 10th Edition. Next sentence? |
