Vocabulary: Week 6

Well, here we are, week 6 of 2011. So far we've learned curmudgeon, conflagration, Coptic, frisson, and bucolic.


The word I have chosen for this week (January 30) is an adjective:

"prodigious - 1a: obsolete: being an omen: portentous; 1b: resembling or befitting a prodigy: strange, unusual; 2: exciting amazement or wonder; 3: extraordinary in bulk, quantity, or degree: enormous"

An interesting word that I found while reading last week. I might have heard it before, but had no idea of the definition. Let's see if I can make use of it this week... :o)
