For my second word of the day (take 2) I picked another long word. It seemed only fitting since the description for Librocubicularist included sesquipedalian. Both are words I have to look at the keyboard while I type them. A lot of letters and a lot of syllables. Hence:
Sesquipedalian: Having many syllables; or: characterized by the use of long words.
It's a great word, I think. Rolls off the tongue better than most 6 syllable words. It comes from
Latin sesquipedalis, literally, a foot and a half long, from sesqui- + ped-, pes foot. And yeah, it's fitting don't you think? Have a great weekend and we'll be back Monday. If you have any word you would like me to dive into, put it down in the comments below! ~ Tim
