Dictionary.com entry for Frisson
a sudden, passing sensation of excitement;
a shudder of emotion; thrill
SINCE THE ETYMONLINE WEBSITE DOES NOT
SEEM TO INCLUDE TODAY'S WORD, HERE, GENTLE
READER, IS THE ORIGIN LISTING FROM DICTIONARY.COM
Origin: 1770–80; < F: shiver, shudder, OF friçons (pl.)
< LL frictiōnem, acc. of frictiō shiver (taken as deriv. of frīgére to be cold)
With a happy jolt of frisson, I realized it was Thursday again,
and set about learning this new word I first saw mentioned
in a review of the very fun work of Jesse Reklaw!
