WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY'S
WORD OF THE DAY
Today's word is desuetude. It comes from page 11 of Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov.
desuetude is a noun meaning the condition of not being used or practiced any more; disuse.
It comes from Middle English which came from the Latin word desuetudo, meaning to disuse.
My sentence: Progress is a study in desuetude.
