Tergiversate

Dictionary.com selects one word of the year each year. They recently announced that the word of 2011 is: "Tergiversate. Pronounced "ter-JIV-er-sate", it means “to change repeatedly one's attitude or opinions with respect to a cause, subject;etc.; equivocate.” A committee of lexicographers (people who study words and compile dictionaries) choose the annual word not based on the number of times it has been used that year, but on which word best encapsulates the events of the yearI think it's very interesting that the year 2011 is defined by constantly changing states and opinions. The lexicographers explained that the word tergiversate relates to events like the occupy movements and stock markets.(note: this blog does not have the word tergiversate in its database)
