Word of the Day: Omnifarious.

Adjective
1. Comprising or relating to all sorts or varieties.

Example Sentences.
1. "The omnifarious political panel was primed to spark debates."
2. "The vendor at the farmers market had an omnifarious tomato display."
3. "Everyone in our party was satisfied by the omnifarious diner menu."

Word Origin.
Latin, mid-17th century

"Omnifarious" is another way of saying "diverse." It comes from the late Latin "omnifarius," meaning "of all sorts." There's another 17th-century English word — "omniferous" — with a very similar definition, yet a different Latin root.

Word of the Day: Gruntled

ADJECTIVE
1. Pleased, satisfied, and contented.

Example Sentences.
1. "After a long walk and a few treats, the dog was gruntled."
2. "Despite Tom Sawyer annoying those around him, he always managed to keep his guardians gruntled."
3. "Mr. Robinson was appropriately gruntled after several of his wife's freshly baked cookies."

Word Origin.
English, 1930s

What's a good antonym for "disgruntled"? "Happy"? Not descriptive enough. At least that's what someone in the 1930s must have thought when they came up with "gruntled" as a back-formation of "gruntled." A back-formation is the creation of a new word, usually by removing a prefix or suffix, from an already existing one.
