Expanding Vocabulary

[[az...]]

This is a place to put down a new word you'd like to learn, re-learn or better understand. You can also share any word you know already. (I decided on this game because I found my own range of vocabulary insufficient.) You do not have to put in how to sound it out phonetically or include all definitions. The amount of definitions you include are up to you. Choose a word that starts with the next letter of the alphabet from the one before.
