Word of the day Today's word is DEMURE. Demure [dih-MYOOR] adjective 1: reserved, modest 2: affectedly modest, reserved, or serious: coy Example: I'm not a very out going person and am mostly an introvert and at times demure, but I do have a wild side that can take even myself by surprise sometimes. Did you know? "Demure" has essentially remained unchanged in meaning since at least the 14th century. Its first recorded use in our language dates from the Middle English period (roughly the 12th to 15th centuries), a time when the native tongue of England was borrowing many new words from the French spoken by the Normans who gained control of the country after the Battle of Hastings. "Demure" might have been part of the French cultural exchange; etymologists think it may have derived from the Anglo-French verb "demorer" or "demourer," meaning "to linger." During Shakespeare's time, "demure" was briefly used in English as a verb meaning "to look demurely," but only the older adjective form has survived to the present day. My mind always goes to an image of a sexy sultry look when I hear that word. I suppose the two could go together, or at least in my mind they do. Hope y'all had a happy and safe Fourth of July. Mine was excellent! Now I'm gearing up to go down and visit my family and friends in Oregon for a couple weeks. Any ladies in the southern Willamette Valley interested in meeting up just send me a message on here and we'll go from there! Have a fabulous night y'all
