Word of the Day
ver·i·si·mil·i·tude /ˌverəsəˈmiləˌto͞od / noun = the appearance of being true or real. Example: "The details give the novel some verisimilitude." (I found the illustration HERE.)
A neighbor mentioned this word as one she had recently run across, saying, "Ver-eh-ssss...." as she tried to remember the long word for something that seemed true. She was startled when I said, "Verisimilitude?" She looked at me with wide eyes and said, "Yes, that word."
