Word of the Week: Frisson.

Ronovan Word of the Week

Frisson

Noun

  • :  a brief moment of emotional excitement :  shudder, thrill

  • produce a genuine frisson of disquiet — Patricia Craig

  • a frisson of surprise

  • a frisson of delight

Examples of frisson in a sentence

  1. those two are still caught up in the giddy frisson of a new romance

Did You Know?

I feel a shiver that’s not from the cold as the band and the crowd go charging through the final notes…. That frisson, that exultant moment…. That’s how writer Robert W. Stock characterized the culmination of a big piece at a concert in 1982. His use of the word shiver is apt given that “frisson” comes from the French word for “shiver.” “Frisson” traces to Old French friçon, which in turn derives from “frictio,” Latin for friction. What does friction-normally a heat generator-have to do with thrills and chills? Nothing, actually. The association came about because “frictio” (which derives from Latin fricare, meaning “to rub”) was once mistakenly taken to be a derivative of “frigēre,” which means “to be cold.”

Origin and Etymology of frisson

French, shiver, from Old French friçon, from Late Latin friction-, frictio, from Latin, literally, friction (taken in Late Latin as derivative of frigēre to be cold)
First Known Use: 1777

Word of the Week: Dearth

Ronovan Word of the Week , , ,

Dearth

Noun

  1.  :  scarcity that makes dear; specifically :  famine

  2.  :  an inadequate supply :  lack a dearth of evidence

Examples of dearth in a sentence

  • there was a dearth of usable firewood at the campsite

  • the dearth of salesclerks at the shoe store annoyed us

Did You Know?

The facts about the history of the word dearth are quite simple: the word derives from the Middle English form “derthe,” which has the same meaning as our modern term. That Middle English form is assumed to have developed from an Old English form that was probably spelled “dierth” and was related to “dēore,” the Old English form that gave us the word dear. (“Dear” also once meant “scarce,” but that sense of the word is now obsolete.) Some form of “dearth” has been used to describe things that are in short supply since at least the 13th century, when it often referred to a shortage of food.

 

#BookReview of Don’t Worry, Life Is Easy by Agnès Martin-Lugand

Ronovan Writing

A review of a book I read recently. And yes I still have my man card somewhere.

Ronovan's avatarLit World Interviews

Don't Worry Life is Easy cover imagefive gold stars imageDon’t Worry, Life is Easy

by: Agnès Martin-Lugand

Available at Amazon by clicking HERE.

Five out of Five Stars

Love, happiness, sadness, and more fill Don’t Worry, Life Is Easy. This book is a sequel and at first you get the impression you might needed to have read the first book to understand some of the relationships but you really don’t. You quickly figure things out.

Diane, the widow who lost both her husband and child, has returned to Paris and has bought her literary café, Happy People Read And Drink Coffee, from her parents. Her energetic and comic relief friend and employee Felix is still present and bolsters up Diane during her moments of sadness and despondency.

Diane doesn’t really know what to do with her emotional life. She thinks the bookstore is enough for her but something is missing. A new relationship presents itself while old…

Medications and A Weekly Reader.

Ronovan Writing

Have you noticed I don’t post much? If you’ve been around long enough you will know that at one time I would post as much as three times a day seven days a week. I was a fend. Then medications happened. With Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue they give you all sorts of pills to try and help with pain and the side effects pain can cause, like depression. Let me tell you, all that does is curb your enthusiasm for pretty much anything creative. They are still working on the right combination for me.

I wanted to thank all of you who still visit me even though I am MIA so much. I also wanted to say that in the near feature I will begin a book for my blog. Each week will be a new chapter or scene. I’m not real sure how it will be done, but I do have the book idea in  mind. I am hoping this will force me into a creative mood again. I have the ideas, just no energy to do them. But if I start it I will feel obligated to keep doing it, much like my Haiku Challenge which is approaching three years of uninterrupted weekly challenges.

I hope you will enjoy what I have to offer and maybe this will do me some good. Looking forward to some creative juices flowing.

Much Respect

Word of the Week: Convivial.

Ronovan Word of the Week , ,

Convivial

Adjective

relating to, occupied with, or fond of feasting, drinking, and good company a convivial host a convivial gathering

conviviality: play \kən-ˌvi-vē-ˈa-lə-tē\ noun

convivially: play \kən-ˈviv-yə-lē, -ˈvi-vē-ə-lē\ adverb

Examples of convivial in a sentence

  1. the hiking club attracts a wide range of convivial people who share a love of the outdoors

Did You Know?

Convivial traces to “convivium,” a Latin word meaning “banquet,” and tends to suggest a mood of full-bellied joviality. Charles Dickens aptly captures that sense in his novel David Copperfield: “We had a beautiful little dinner. Quite an elegant dish of fish; the kidney-end of a loin of veal, roasted; fried sausage-meat; a partridge, and a pudding. There was wine, and there was strong ale…. Mr. Micawber was uncommonly convivial. I never saw him such good company. He made his face shine with the punch, so that it looked as if it had been varnished all over. He got cheerfully sentimental about the town, and proposed success to it.”

Amid.

Behold, the eye of

The storm is amid chaos,

Surrounded by peace.

Word of the Week: Imprecation.

Ronovan Word of the Week , ,

During my manic reading this year, a book a day, at least, I come across words that jump and make me go, huh. This week I read a book where there was minimum use of profanity, if any at all. Instead the author chose to use another way of stating a character was swearing or cursing.

Imprecation

Noun

A spoken curse.

Examples of imprecation in a sentence

  1. He muttered imprecations under his breath.

  2. the defiant prisoner continued to hurl imprecations and insults at the guards

First Known Use of imprecation

15th century

Word of the Week: Chagrin.

Ronovan Word of the Week , ,

Chagrin n.  A keen feeling of mental unease, as of annoyance or embarrassment, caused by failure, disappointment, or a disconcerting event. “He decided to take the day off, much to the chagrin of his boss.”

Did You Know?

Chagrin comes from French, in which it means “grief,” “sorrow,” or essentially the same thing as our “chagrin,” and in which it is also an adjective meaning “sad.” Some etymologists have linked this “chagrin” with another French chagrin, meaning “rough leather or “rough skin.” Supposedly, the rough leather used to rub, polish, or file became a metaphor in French for agitating situations. English-speakers have also adopted the leathery “chagrin” into our language but have altered the spelling to “shagreen.” (m-w.com)

First Known Use

Circa 1681

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge Image 2016

The Guidelines are simple.

  1. Take the two words and write a Haiku. I use Haiku in English as my style, which is 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third, but you can use what you like. The link above has links within it to articles about how to write Haibun, Tanka, and even a new form I created called Freku. You can also do the 3/5/3 form if you likeinstead of the 5/7/5 that I usually use. Write, share, and have fun. For syllable help visit HowManySyllables.com. (You would be surprised at how many syllables some words actually have.)
  2. The two words can be used as you like. Words have different definitions and you can use the definitions you like. You can even use a synonym word as long as it does not change the meaning. Go to Thesaurus.com for Synonym help.
  3. Use the Tag of Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge. This will help me find you in case you forget to ping back or leave your URL in the comments.
  4. Copy the link of your finished haiku URL  in a comment so we can all go and visit your site to see what you have done. You can do a ping back. What’s a ping back? Put the URL link in the address bar of this post, if you like, within your post. Your inclusion of the link encourages others to try the challenges out, be creative, and join a community to find friends and more followers (hopefully). I honestly gain nothing by more people visiting the post. I don’t have ads running I get paid for by your visit. Click HERE for a detailed article on Ping Backs.
  5. You may copy one of the badges/images appearing in this post below or above and place it on your site if you wish, most normally use it within their post. I am not saying you need to, but if you would like to do so then go ahead. It is simply my way of saying thank you for participating. I sometimes make custom images for the week, if time and health permits.
  6. The Challenge currently BEGINS at 8 AM EST (New York City time) on Mondays. And a DEADLINE is Noon EST (New York City time) on the Sunday following the Challenge Post release.
  7. Are you interested in having your Haiku entry included in our FREE eBook Project? Click HERE to find out more.
