Word of the Day

inanition

Running on Empty Word of the Day:

This Latinate word at first glance appears to be made entirely of prefixes and suffixes, yielding no clue to its meaning. If you come up with its nearest relative, inane, it's still not that much help. Inanition is weakness either resulting from lack of food, or from exhaustion. The common root of it and its cousin inane is Latin inanis, "empty."
