Word of the Day: APRICITY
Bask in the winter sun
apricity (noun) - the warmth of the sun in winter [ah-pris-i-tee]
BREAKDOWN: This uncommon word evokes the uncommon pleasure of appreciating the warmth of the sun even when the air is cold. In Latin, aprīcus means warmed by the sun, which sounds lovely in the heart of winter!
"Morning apricity gives me the hope to begin a new day." —Akshaya Vetriselvan
