Today's words

plage \PLAHZH\ - 1. the beach of a seaside resort  2. a bright region on the sun caused by the light emitted by clouds of calcium or hydrogen and often associated with a sunspot

Lots of new (to me) WsOTD from the Merriam-Webster site lately.  I love it!  And a related one as a bonus:

li·do  \LEE-doe\ - a fashionable beach resort

And one from the dictionary devil that makes sense but I'd never heard:

lancinating \LAN(T)-si-,nay-ting\ - characterized by piercing or stabbing sensations
