Word of the day June 25

The Word of the Day for June 25 is:

henotheism • \HEH-nuh-thee-ih-zum ("th" as in "think")\ • (noun) the worship of one god without denying the existence of other gods

A little more information about today’s word:
"Henotheism" comes to us from the German word "Henotheismus," which in turn is derived from the Greek "hen-" ("one") plus "theos" ("god"). Someone who engages in henotheism worships one god as supreme over all others. Max Müller, a respected 19th-century scholar, is credited with promoting the word "henotheism" as a counterpart to "polytheism" ("belief in or worship of more than one god") and "monotheism" ("the doctrine or belief that there is but one God"). Müller also offered the related word "kathenotheism" for the worship of several gods successively.

My sentence:
During certain periods of Egyptian history, the pharaohs and their subjects practiced henotheism.

Henotheism is just a human attempt to force the various gods in our traditional "pater familias" model.

Introducing a Muslim to the concept of henotheism could get you killed.

The Romans wanted the early Christians to change their beliefs to henotheism; that obviously didn't happen.

Word of the day June 26

The Word of the Day for June 26 is:

peregrination • \peh-ruh-gruh-NAY-shun\ • (noun) an excursion especially on foot or to a foreign country; journey

A little more information about today’s word:
We begin our narrative of the linguistic travels of "peregrination" with the Latin root "peregrinus," which means "foreign" or "foreigner." That root also gave us the words "pilgrim" and "peregrine," the latter of which once meant "alien" but is now used as an adjective meaning "tending to wander" and a noun naming a kind of falcon. (The peregrine falcon is so named because it was traditionally captured during its first flight—or pilgrimage—from the nest.) From "peregrinus" we travel to the Latin verb "peregrinari" ("to travel in foreign lands") and its past participle "peregrinatus." Our final destination is the adoption into English in the 16th century of both "peregrination" and the verb "peregrinate" ("to travel especially on foot" or "to traverse").

My sentence:
"Ms. Ferguson traces the lives and peregrinations of these two early modern scientists across northern and middle Europe to the point where their lives first intersect."
-- Raymond L. Petersen, The Washington Times, April 13, 2003

Based on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, 10th Edition.

Word of the day June 27

The Word of the Day for June 27 is:

tousle • \TOW-zul ("OW" as in "cow")\ • (verb) dishevel, rumple

A little more information about today’s word:
"Tousle" is a word that has been through what linguists call a "functional shift." That's a fancy way of saying it was originally one part of speech, then gradually came to have a different function. "Tousle" started out as a verb back in the 15th century. By the late 19th century, "tousle" was also being used as a noun meaning "a tangled mass (as of hair)." Etymologists connect the word to an Old High German word meaning "to pull to pieces."

My sentence:
Vic stood in front of the mirror and tousled his hair, trying to master the cool, disheveled look.

Word of the day June 30

The Word of the Day for June 30 is:

shivaree • \shih-vuh-REE\ • (noun) a noisy mock serenade to a newly married couple

A little more information about today’s word:
In 19th century rural America, a newly-married couple might be treated to a mock serenade, performed with pots, pans, homemade instruments, and other noisemakers. Such cacophonous serenades were traditionally considered especially appropriate for second marriages or for unions deemed incongruous because of an age discrepancy or some other cause. In the eastern U.S. this custom, imported from rural England, was simply called a "serenade" or known under various local names. In much of the central U.S. and Canada, however, it was called a "shivaree," a loan from French "charivari," which denotes the same folk custom in France. In more recent years, "shivaree" has also developed broader senses; it is sometimes used to mean simply "a cacophony" or "a celebration."

My sentence:
On the night of Sally and Henry's wedding, the townspeople gathered outside the couple's window to participate in a raucous shivaree.

It seems like every day you hear people echoing the new “catch phrase”, like: “ You don’t want to get started on that, then you’re on a shivaree slope."
