Grace


 

A friend mentions an organization, Engage with Grace, and I think 'hmm, is grace today's word?'

Nah, everyone knows it, and it's too close to the Spanish word gracias.  Besides, we all know it's from Latin.  But then I'm curious about the word gracias. I check the Spanish
Royal Academy--the OED of the Spanish language.  And get this.
Aviso
La palabra gracias no está en el Diccionario

What?  Well, guys, check it out.  here's the link:

I then go back to check the English meaning of grace, and see the first definition: "seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement."

Enough for me, I think.  And what's tomorrow's word? Wonder?
