Umbrageous
Manage episode 308229175 series 2492929
Umbrageous is an adjective that means inclined to take offense easily.
Our word of the day is loosely related to the word umbrella, which comes from the Latin word umbra (OOM bruh) meaning ‘shadow.’ This word also referred to a ‘ground for suspicion’ or ‘offense.’ When someone has taken umbrage with something, we mean, they are offended. An umbrageous person is very apt to take offense.
Our umbrageous boss didn’t like the wig I gave him for his birthday. I would have selected another gift if I’d known he was so easily offended about his hair loss.
