Default The Word of the Day Thread

I figured i'd get one of these started. Otherwise i won't remember them anyway. It doesn't matter which language, as long as you provide a definition. No rude words, pls.

One word, per person, per day - sound good? But if you really must post more ... I shall have to shoot you. Which i will regret. So you'll basically be dead AND making me guilty, which makes you a terrible person. See? I'm very logical.

Its one word per day, not words per day.

We already get the latter everyday.

Splanchnopleure (Verb, Intransitive)

Is a structure created during embryogenesis when the lateral mesoderm splits into two. The inner, splanchnic, layer sticks to the endoderm and forms the splanchnopleure in the forming of an human embroy.

Therefore, if something is splanchnopleure, it is the product of the combining of two sticky things.

Like baby stick insects and the crosses that scare vampires in films and that people get crucified on.
(I like the stick insect thing better...)

"Begone, vile creature of the night! O Dread spawn of Caine and devourer of hominid haemoglobin! For I wield splanchnopleure sticks!"

Last words of Andreas T Bygot, famed logophile and amateur vampire hunter who, upon the eventual first meeting of his very first vampire, was stupid enough to think all vampires were Christian.

Or that religious symbols worked at all.

Word; Fulvous

Meaning: Ful-uv-us

Real meaning: Of reddish hue. This is like Tawny really, which is apparently a dullish browny-yellow, i have no idea how the two relate though.
