Uncle Truman's Lexical Amplifier #2: valetudinarianism
Good evening, and welcome back to Uncle Truman's Lexical Amplifier! Here you will find words that, in my opinion, are not used nearly as much as they ought to be. Your job is to look up each such word in your favorite real* dictionary, read and contemplate its definition, and post a response to this episode which includes
1) an amusing or insightful sentence of your own composing which uses this word, and
2) another word, with definition, that you have found in your dictionary whilst looking up the original word.
Today's word is: valetudinarianism.
In spite of his frequent absences, it seemed that the only affliction that plagued him was valetudinarianism.
* By "real dictionary" I mean any dictionary which can be used to incapacitate a burglar. (Be creative.)
