Word of the Day

One of my new favorite websites is : http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ : I totally love it because it not only gives you the definition for the word I'm looking for, but also suggests alternates.

I think today's word of the day is awesome:


Quixotic

Pronunciation: \kwik-'sä-tik\

Definition:
(adjective) Caught up in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals; idealistic without regard to practicality.

Synonyms:
wild-eyed, romantic, Irrational

Usage:
She is ready prey to any man who knows how to play adroitly either on her affectionate ardor or her quixotic enthusiasm.
