Word every Gracious Individual should know: Etymology 

Definition: Etymology; (Pronounced: et-uh-mol-uh-jee) Greek; noun

Why I love this word:
On the Gracious Lady Blog, you will find etymological words to muddle your mind in an endless fashion. Bring out your dictionary and follow along, as you always have. You just might learn something new.
