Word of the Day

This is more of a specific sort of word, but I think it's a suitable one none the less. It's from The Great Gatsby.

Echolalia

The uncontrollable and immediate repetition of what someone else has said.

As this isn't a word you would use in daily conversation, I am including yet another word from The Great Gatsby.

Tumultuous

Chaotic or riotous

Sentence example: The end of Harry Potter was marked by the tumultuous Battle of Hogwarts.
