Words to Bring Back: “Pellucid”

– Definition: adj. Permitting to a certain extent the passage of light.

– Used in a sentence: O, for a more perfectly pellucid presidency*!

– Why: I’m in favor of this one strictly for the sound of it; the feeling on my tongue as I shape each obscure syllable. (Plus, it makes a nice alliteration with “perfectly” and “presidency.”)
