Today's words

abulia \ay-BOO-lee-uh\ - abnormal lack of ability to act or to make decisions

Wow, a completely new one.  I wonder if this is applicable to the usually temporary - if sometimes quite long term - depressed condition from which some mourners often feel unable to rouse themselves.

etymon \ˈe-tə-ˌmän\ - 1a.  an earlier form of a word in the same language or an ancestral language
b.  a word in a foreign language that is the source of a particular loanword  2.  a word or morpheme from which words are formed by composition or derivation

Another new word, though with a familiar root. (Well, I suppose the "a" in the previous word meets that criterion, too.)
