Today's word

ab initio /ab-ih-NISH-ee-oh/ - from the beginning
This definition is certainly not a surprise, and I am sure I'd have recognized this word had I encountered it in context, even though it wasn't familiar. My brain insists on using the Latin pronunciation of words that are clearly directly from that language; in this case, I want to pronounce this as /ahb-ee-NEET-see-oh/.
