Word
of the Week – Vicissitude
I’m willing to bet most of you have never heard of this week’s word -
vicissitude.
According to dictionary.com,
vicissitude is a noun which means:
1. a change or
variation occurring in the course of something.
2. interchange or alternation, as of states or things.
3. vicissitudes, successive, alternating, or changing phases or
conditions, as of life or fortune; ups and downs: They remained friends
through the vicissitudes of 40 years.
4. regular change or succession of one state or thing to another.
5. change; mutation; mutability.
Here’s my use of the word vicissitude in a sentence:
We can expect
every industry to go through periods of vicissitude, but the
tumult experienced by the housing market stands in a class by
itself.
