le mot du jour

February 11, 2003 by Jane

In that vein, I am going to try to have a word of the day thing in my blog — one that I look up myself in my big, heavy, fragrant dictionary.

Today’s Word:

panoply n 1 : A full suit of armor. 2 : something forming a protective covering.

I’m curious as to why you didn’t include the most common usage of ‘panoply’, as in ‘a large impressive array’.

  Because that was the third usage and I decided to stop at the first two.
  
  3 : a magnificent or impressive array.
  
  THERE, HAPPY?
