Actually, this isn't a word I didn't know, just one I've always (evidently) mispronounced:
Pathos - 1. an element in experience or in artistic representation evoking pity or compassion. 2. an emotion of sympathetic pity.
I don't know that I've ever said it aloud, but I've always mentally prounounced it as path-ose rather than pay-thahss.
Also, I was pretty frustrated by today's review word, seeing as I sent them a spelling correction about it because the WOTD link didn't match the spelling of the word it pointed to: preprandial.
