kuh-LIJ-uh-nuhs

From the A.Word.A.Day mailing list:

caliginous (kuh-LIJ-uh-nuhs) adjective

Dark, gloomy, obscure, misty.

[From Latin caliginosus (misty, dark).]

Wow, that makes me want to write a gothic novel.

“From the narrow window in her room, all Emily could see, or almost see, was a single caliginous view across the moors.”

Saving this word here to remind me to use it some time. It’s like getting kissed by Siouxsie Sue.

Caliginous. Yowza.
