This word was learnt today in none other than my Personal Statement Workshop for English Literature. It has been plucked from a personal statement that is of astoundingly bad quality, due to the overuse of long words. Such as this one:
Today's Word:
Verisimilitude
1. The appearance of truth
2. Likelihood; probability
Sentence example: La Cantatrice Chauve, a French play by Ionesco, lacked any form of verisimilitude within its plot.
