Etymology: 13th Century Latin, from com- meaning "with, together" + via meaning "way, road"

Example: By doing WOD every single day, I hope that I can convey the importance of having and using a good vocabulary!

I think that by using this scene in their show, Drake and Josh are trying to convey the message that Lucille Ball really was the Queen of Comedy:

Gabby says...One time when I tried to convey a message was when I was in Mrs.Brucker's class. We were trying to send letters to famous people. Then we'll modify the letters to make them professional.

Welcome! Let us cheer for you!

I am a big fan of vocabulary! Why should words be dull when they can be dazzling? It is my goal for your kids to learn at least 180 impressive words this year, not just so that they will recognize and understand them, but so that they will use them. When they hear, read or say one of the following words, you should expect to hear a little cheer--go ahead, test them out if you dare!

To the left, you will find the official list of our Words of the Day, complete with definitions, synonyms, etymology (origin), and examples. Clicking on the word will take you to the Longman Dictionary for more information, including pronunciation. In fact, you can click on any bold, colorful word or phrase to take a virtual excursion on the web.

If your child hears one of these words in conversation or on TV, have him log on and share what he heard by adding a "comment" below the word. AND, if you want to see your child flex her vocabulary muscle, have her add a comment and use the word in a great sentence of her own!
