New Word (4): Velleity

It has been a while since I found a new word. Dictionary.com has a small game called "Word Dynamo", which I play here and there. I pick up words from then.


vel·le·i·ty/vəˈlēətē/

Noun:
A wish or inclination not strong enough to lead to action.


I'm proud to say that I've used reticient/taciturn and travesty quite nicely. Divulse is not a very common word that I use, thankfully.

Let's hope I can find ways to use 'velleity' soon. It shouldn't be hard... right?
