PRONUNCIATION:
(joo-vuh-NES-uhns)
MEANING:
noun: 1. A youthful state. 2. The state of becoming young or juvenile. ETYMOLOGY:
From Latin juvenis (young; youth). Earliest documented use: 1800.
USAGE:
“In 1962, Roger Angell, one of America’s finest baseball writers,
described spring training as ‘a sun-warmed sleepy exhibition
celebrating the juvenescence of the year and the senescence of
the fans’.” A Deadline Looms in Baseball’s Latest Labour Dispute: Millionaires v Billionaires; The Economist (London, UK); Feb 25, 2022. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Quite frankly I talk about the fact that I'm a feminist as often as I can,
and every time I do it gets huge reaction and media reacts and the
Twitterverse explodes and things like that, because here I am saying I'm a
feminist. I will keep saying that until there is no more reaction to that
when I say it, because that's where we want to get to. -Justin Trudeau,
23rd Prime Minister of Canada (b. 25 Dec 1971)
