Word of
the Day #126
The one hundred
and twenty-sixth Word of the Day is nonplus [non-pluhs],
which comes from Latin. It means to
puzzle completely or a state of utter perplexity. It is spelled N-O-N-P-L-U-S. To use it in a
sentence, you could say, “We were nonplussed to discover that we had
been driving in the wrong direction for one whole hour.”
