Word of the Day

censureYou Be the Judge Word of the Day:It's hard not to associate the noun censure with the noun and verb censor, given that they share a consonant and sound pattern. The good news is that you're completely justified in doing so: their common ancestor is censere, a Latin verb for "give your opinion." The so-so news is that the meanings of censure and censor are not quite analogous. Censure today means strong condemnation, or an instance of this.
