Create That Definition! Flummonade

8 Jun

This week’s word is flummonade, which has no Latin root.  It is purely a made-up word, so no extra points this time for staying true to the Latin root.

Last week’s word was deponinate, coming from the Latin root depono, meaning to put down, lay aside.  The winning definition comes from Lynlyn:

Deponinate: (v.) To remove from a position of authority, usually by decree of a higher office.

  • The local chairman was deponinated by the regional manager, who felt that his irresponsible use of funds merited removal from the position.

Congrats Lynlyn!
