Word of the Day

Today's Word:

Flagrant

Shockingly noticeable; scandalous

Sentence example: His underwear was flagrant because he had forgotten to wear his belt on his jeans.

Origin: From the Latin flagrare, meaning to burn, since in archaic language the word meant literally burning or blazing.
