tau-tol-o-gy
noun:
1 a: needless repetition of an idea, statement, or word b: an instance of tautology
2: a tautologous statement
This word comes from Late Latin tautologia and Greek tautologos.
Welcome to the latest feature of "The Cheese Stands Alone" where we seek not only to entertain, but also to inform. Drawing on inspiration from a fellow blogger we will explore a new word each Wednesday. I have found, however, that I need a better (larger, more varied) dictionary. For me there is fun in just picking words at random, but when the dictionary is too basic, there aren't many words you readers would not already know.
Where would the fun be in that?
So, before the next installment of Learn-A-Word Wednesday, Evan and I will head to our local Salvation Army and Goodwill in search of a real dictionary. One that weighs at least three pounds! Much better for the random selection of words!!
