📕 Word of the Day: nugatory

nugatory • \NOO-guh-tor-ee\ • adjective

Something described as nugatory is of little or no consequence. In law, nugatory describes something (such as a statute or agreement) without operative legal effect.

// Most of the criticism of the film in the weeks since its release has been nugatory nonsense.

// This new contract renders the previous agreement nugatory.

📝 Examples:
“Public outrage, fanned by the press, did not engage with the work but focused instead on taxpayers’ money having been squandered on a worthless ‘pile of bricks.’ In fact, the purchase price of [pounds sterling] 2,297 was nugatory, but the issue was never really about price but about rejecting the new and the challenging in art.” — Art Monthly, 1 Dec. 2025

📜 Did you know?
Just because nugatory isn’t the most common word in the English language doesn’t mean it’s trifling. Rather, nugatory is literally trifling because the two words are synonymous, as in “comments too nugatory to merit attention.” Nugatory first appeared in English in the 17th century; it comes from the Latin adjective nugatorius, which can mean not only “trifling” or “frivolous” but also “futile.” This sense carried over into English as well, and so in some contexts nugatory means “ineffective” or “having no force,” as when Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Marilynne Robinson invoked “the nugatory value of the contemporary penny.” Nugatory may mean little to some, but we think it’s worth a pretty penny.

Impetrate (verb)

Definition: To obtain something by earnest request or supplication; to secure through persistent asking.

Used in a sentence: "After weeks of letters, I managed to impetrate a gift."

From Latin impetrare (“to obtain, to bring about”), impetrate carries a sense of effort behind the asking: something granted after insistence or appeal.

To impetrate implies persistence, sometimes maybe even desperation.
The word frames success as won through pressure, patience, or sheer refusal to give up.

🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Serviette

While used in other English-speaking countries, 'serviette' is far more common in Canada than 'napkin.' The word comes directly from French, reflecting Canada's bilingual heritage. So next time you're setting the table or cleaning up a spill, you're using a word that subtly highlights Canada's unique linguistic landscape. Pass the serviettes, eh? #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #Serviette
