This is one I learnt whilst reading 'A People's History of the United States.' Whilst I have not found the book entirely engaging I have learnt new words and one of those is:
Nadir:
The lowest point; the point of greatest adversity or despair
Sentence Example:
Leo had suffered through a monotonous day at work but the nadir came when the tube broke down on the way home, and he was stuck in a hot tube carriage, underground, during rush hour.
