Word of the Week:

Word #5

1. Diminutive

2. The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls

3. But we'd call the baby Maureen, a name Mom liked because it was a diminutive of Mary, so she'd also be naming the baby after herself but pretty much no one would know it.

4. Small; little; tiny; a charge, as an ordinary, smaller in length or breadth than the usual.

5. She could hardly see the diminutive figure waving at her from the other end of the tunnel.
