In case you haven't already figured it out, I absolutely adore words. All words, every word. No words are free from my smothering enthusiasm; corpulent words, small and fruity words, flowery and excessive words, those both sinister and seraphic, and most importantly, words that give the impression that I am more intelligent than I actually am. I think today's 'Word of the Day' will fit nicely into the latter category.
immure \ih-MYUR\, transitive verb: 1. To enclose within walls, or as if within walls; hence, to shut up; to imprison; to incarcerate. 2. To build into a wall. 3. To entomb in a wall.
I love it. 'Word of the Day' at Dictionary.com.
