Perfidy

A good word found in two of my favorite books: The Tale of Despereaux by Kate Di Camillo and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling. Don't know what it means? Look it up!

Silhouette

Sounds elegant, doesn't it? Well, it does to me.

Apropos

The words that I share with you on this blog are apropos for everyday use. I hope you are enjoying them and incorporating them into your vocabulary if you do not already use them.

Perquisite

One of the best perquisites of being a teacher is getting the entire summer off from school.

Perpetual

This list is never ending...

Mesmerize

This is another magical sounding word. Indeed, one of the definitions is "to spellbind." I also like the 'm' and 'z' sounds.

Treacherous

It just sounds so...dramatic. The roads were treacherous this past weekend, and today too.
