Today's word

expatiate

PRONUNCIATION:
(ek-SPAY-shee-ayt)

MEANING:
verb intr.
1. To speak or write at length.
2. To move about freely.

ETYMOLOGY:
From Latin exspatiatus, past participle of exspatiari (to wander or digress), from ex- (out) + spatiari (to walk about), from spatium (space).

Boy, does this describe me or what? Especially the first definition. I like the Latin exspatiari - to wander or digress. That is so me!
