Today's word

riant \ˈrī-ənt, ˈrē-; rē-ˈäⁿ\ - gay, mirthful

So here's another one I've never seen before, but it took me to the very end of today's WOTD's Did You Know? section, the Word Family Quiz, to find it. I was pretty sure when I tried to fill in the blanks that this was going to be a word I didn't already know. The only use I might ever make of it would be to rhyme it using its French pronunciation.
