the worthless word for the day is: legerity

[fr. F. legereté, lightness (fr. L. leviarius?]
/luh JER ud ee/ agility of mind or of limb: nimbleness

"This is not a succedaneum for satisfying the nympholepsy
of nullifidians. Rather it is hoped that the haecceity of
this enchiridion of arcane and recondite sesquipedalian
items will appeal to the oniomania of an eximious
Gemeinschaft whose legerity and sophrosyne, whose
Sprachgefühl and orexis will find more than fugacious
fulfillment among its felicific pages."
- Laurence Urdang, Misunderstood, Misused, Mispro-
nounced Words (Foreword, 1972)

"..the legerity of the French mind made the Gallic visitor
quick to comprehend his desire for solitude, and the very
transparency of the masking rendered it invulnerable."
- Elinor Wylie, The Venetian Glass Nephew (1925)
