Today's words

infantilize \IN-fun-tye-lyze\ - 1. to cause to be or remain like an infant or young child  2. to treat like an infant or young child
I knew what this meant, but didn't really think about what the correct pronunciation must be. This makes more sense thatn \in-FANT-ih-lyze\ would.
ephebic \ih-FEE-bik\ - of, relating to, or characteristic of a youth of ancient Greece or a young man
I didn't know this one, though.
