A Word A Day is an e-mail service of Wordsmith.org that sends you a new word (and its definition and usage) every day. Usually each week has a theme as well. For instance, this week we're learning "words with hidden animals". Today's word is:
perihelion (per-i-HEE-lee-uhn_, -HEEL-yun) noun
The point in the orbit of a celestial body that is nearest to the sun.
[From Greek peri- (around, near) + helios (sun). The point farthest from
the sun is called aphelion, from apo- (away).]
If you can get a friend to sign up with you, then it's even better because you can each challenge each other to use the day's word in a sentence.
