Word of the Day: “plangent”
Today’s word of the day is especially fitting, today being the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.  Our thoughts will be plangent today as we remember those this country - as well as other countries - lost. My heart and prayers are still with the families who still grieve for their loved ones. May we never forget, and may we never surrender.
plangent \PLAN-juhnt\, adjective:
1. Beating with a loud or deep sound, as, “the plangent wave.”
2. Expressing sadness; plaintive.
Origin:Â Plangent derives from the present participle of Latin plangere, to beat, to strike (noisily), especially to strike the breast, head, etc. as a sign of grief.
