tendentious /ten-DEN-shus/ - marked by a tendency in favor of a particular point of view : biased
Though they each claim otherwise, both Fox News and NPR are more than slightly tendentious. I can't believe I've lived by life thus far without this word in my vocabulary, especially in such polarized times.
interdigitate /in-ter-DIJ-uh-tayt/ - to become interlocked like the fingers of folded hands
I love it when a new word means exactly what it looks like it should mean.Other recent WsOTD that are in my recognition vocabulary but not my regular usage rotation: agita, vituperate, prehension, denegation, chary, and one that I primarily use in its adjectival form, palliate.
