Word of the day:
CACOPHONY
1. harsh or jarring sound: DISSONANCE
2. an incongruous or chaotic mixture : a striking combination
"Cacophony comes from a joining of phōnḗ ('sound' or 'voice') with the Greek prefix kak- (from kakos, meaning 'bad'), so it essentially means 'bad sound.'"
An interesting aside:
"Other phat phōnḗ descendants include:
• SYMPHONY: A word that indicates harmony or agreement in sound
• POLYPHONY: Referring to a style of musical composition in which two or more independent melodies are juxtaposed in harmony
• EUPHONY: A word for a pleasing or sweet sound."
Another 'Kakos' word:
• KAKISTOCRACY: "government by the worst people"
