Word of the day June 10
 

The Word of the Day for June 10 is:

banausic • \buh-NAW-sik\ • (adjective) relating to or concerned with earning a living -- used pejoratively; also utilitarian, practical

A little more information about today’s word:
The ancient Greeks held intellectual pursuits in the highest esteem, and they considered ideal a leisurely life of contemplation. A large population of slaves enabled many Greek citizens to adopt that preferred lifestyle. Those who had others to do the heavy lifting for them tended to regard professional labor with contempt. Their prejudice against the need to toil to earn a living is reflected in the Greek adjective "banausikos" (the root of "banausic"), which not only means "of an artisan" and "nonintellectual," but also "vulgar."

My sentence:
Each summer, countless college students set aside their books and turn to more banausic tasks, such as waiting tables, to earn tuition and spending money for the coming year.

The Word of the Day for June 11 is:

cumshaw • \KUM-shaw\ • (noun) present, gratuity; also bribe, payoff

A little more information about today’s word:
It was probably British Navy personnel who first picked up "cumshaw" in Chinese ports, during the First Opium War of 1839_42. "Cumshaw" is from a word that means "grateful thanks" in the dialect of Xiamen, a port in southeast China. (Rendered "kam sia" in the Pinyin system of romanizing Chinese words, it’s still a common expression used by about one billion Chinese to show grateful thankfulness.) Apparently, sailors heard it from the beggars who hung around the ports, and mistook it as the word for a handout. Since then, U.S. sailors have given "cumshaw" its own unique application, for something obtained through unofficial means (whether deviously or simply ingeniously). Outside of naval circles, meanings of "cumshaw" range from a harmless gratuity to bending the rules a little to outright bribery.

My sentence:
"There are now strict rules against payoffs, and senior managers must sign monthly statements that all sales have been made . . . 'with no cumshaw whatsoever.'"
-- Louis Kraar, Fortune, October 1977

Word of the day June 12
 

The Word of the Day for June 12 is:

defenestration • \dee-feh-nuh-STRAY-shun\ • (noun) a throwing of a person or thing out of a window

A little more information about today’s word:
These days "defenestration" is often used figuratively to describe the forceful removal of someone from public office or from some other advantageous position. History’s most famous defenestration, however, was one in which the tossing out the window was quite literal. On May 23, 1618, two imperial regents were found guilty of violating certain guarantees of religious freedom. As punishment, they were thrown out the window of Prague Castle. The men survived the 50-foot tumble into the moat, but the incident, which became known as the Defenestration of Prague, marked the beginning of the Bohemian resistance to Hapsburg rule that eventually led to the Thirty Years' War.

My sentence:
Inspector Fry surveyed the scene and asked himself three questions: did the man fall out the window accidentally, did he jump, or was this a case of murder by defenestration?

Word of the day June 13
 

The Word of the Day for June 13 is:

exegesis • \ek-suh-JEE-sis\ • (noun) exposition, explanation; especially an explanation or critical interpretation of a text

A little more information about today’s word:
Theological scholars have long been preoccupied with interpreting the meanings of various passages in the Bible. In fact, because of the sacred status of the Bible in both Judaism and Christianity, biblical interpretation has played a crucial role in both of those religions throughout their histories. English speakers have used the word "exegesis"—a descendant of the Greek term "exegeisthai," meaning "to explain" or "to interpret"—to refer to explanations of Scripture since the early 17th century. Nowadays, however, academic writers interpret all sorts of texts, and "exegesis" is no longer associated mainly with the Bible.

My sentence:
"This biography of Augustine is compounded in equal measure of fact and exegesis, all of it offered up in elegant prose."
-- The Los Angeles Times, December 5, 1999
