Today's word

orgulous \OR-gyuh-lus\ - proud, haughty
What a great new word, and interesting write-up. However, I'd have like more of the etymology, a further glimpse of which is available in the word's dictionary listing. Also, this is the second time this week I've unexpectedly encountered the next word in the dictionary. (Come to think of it, I suppose I've never really encountered it expectedly.) (and another thing: why does the spell checker like "unexpectedly" but not "expectedly"?)
In a not-strictly-related tidbit from the same site: I never knew that asparagus was a member of the lily family.
