Wednesday Word: Filipendulous

[calzephyr]

Filipendulous - adjective.

Found on a list of "useless" words, filipendulous describes something suspended by a rope or thread and is derived from Latin filum (thread) + pendere (to hang).

Heheh we should have a "use these words in a sentence" contest to see if a few of them will string together :-)
